LOS ANGELES - Doctors have delayed brain surgery for Bryan Stow, the San Francisco Giants fan who was beaten five weeks ago while leaving a baseball game at Dodger Stadium, hospital officials said today.
The family's website, support4stow.blogspot.com, had indicated that Stow would undergo brain surgery as a result of a fluid buildup in Stow's cranium, but Rosa Saca of Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center said doctors are treating him with medication.
"There is no surgery scheduled at this time," she said.
Stow, a Santa Clara paramedic and father of two who hails from Santa Cruz, remains unconscious in a medically induced coma in critical condition, Saca said.
He suffered severe head injuries in an unprovoked beating March 31 in a parking lot outside Dodger Stadium following a Dodgers-Giants baseball game, the season opener for both teams.
The search continues for two men who approached Stow and began kicking and punching him while yelling profanities about the Giants, police said.
Stow fell to the pavement, and the two men repeatedly kicked him in the head, officials said.
The attackers fled in a light-colored, four-door car driven by a woman with a young boy inside, authorities said.
Police released composite sketches of the suspects, who were believed to be between 18 and 25 years old.
