Los Angeles (CNN) — Los Angeles police arrested a suspect early Sunday in connection with the brutal beating of a San Francisco Giants fan at Dodgers Stadium in March, a police spokesman said.

Bryan Stow, 42, was beaten into a coma on March 31 in the stadium parking lot after the opening game of the Dodgers’ season.

Lt. Rick Stable confirmed the arrest at an east Hollywood apartment, but he would not release the suspect’s name.

“Some additional individuals who were at the search warrant residence have been detained pending further investigation,” he said.

Police, including 17 detectives assigned to the case, have been working to find the two men who attacked Stow.

The Los Angeles Dodgers added $100,000 to increase to $200,000 the reward being offered for information leading to the beating suspects’ arrest.

The Los Angeles Police Department scheduled a news conference for Sunday afternoon to discuss the arrest.

The San Francisco Giants issued a statement praising the police for their work.

“Today’s arrest in the Bryan Stow case is welcome news in what has been a very difficult time for the Stow family,” the team said. “We commend the Los Angeles Police Department for their hard work and we are confident that they will continue to dedicate themselves until all of those responsible for this senseless act of violence have been brought to justice.”

Stow was walking in the stadium parking lot when he was hit from behind with an object, police and his mother said. There are no indications that he knew the assailants or that they attacked him for any reason beyond the fact he was wearing gear of the San Francisco Giants, who are the Dodgers’ biggest rivals.

His mother, Ann Stow, told HLN’s Jane Velez-Mitchell last week that it “was a random act of violence against somebody who was wearing Giants’ colors.”

The attackers fled in a light-colored sedan driven by a woman with a young boy — believed to be about 10 years old — inside, said police.

On Tuesday, Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck kicked off a billboard campaign aiming to find the two men accused of ambushing and beating Stow. More than 300 billboards — which advertise “Wanted” and “Attempted Murder at Dodger Stadium” — are now up around the southern California city, featuring composite sketches of the suspects.

“This case is one of the top priorities of the Los Angeles Police Department,” Beck told reporters on Tuesday. “We need the public’s help.”

Police make use of billboards

Stow, a father of two, is a paramedic who traveled from Santa Cruz, California, to make his first-ever visit to Dodgers Stadium. He went to the game with friends in celebration of the Giants’ World Series victory last season, a relative said.

After the game, the two men came up to him in the parking lot and — unprovoked — began kicking and punching him while yelling profanities about the Giants, police said.

Ann Stow said her son was first hit from behind, at which point he fell and his head hit the concrete.

“It was just a brutal attack,” she said. “Whatever that guy hit my son with, Bryan was unconscious before he hit the ground, so he had no way to protect his head.”

Stow was taken out of a medically induced coma over a week ago, and has since shown signs of some cognitive function, Los Angeles neurosurgeon Dr. Gabriel Zada said. Stow also has “some movement” in his arms and legs, the doctor said.

He was transferred last week from Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center to San Francisco General and Trauma Center, bringing him closer to his home, Zada said.

Stow has been able to open his eyes in recent days — a positive sign, said his mother, even though he still can’t focus and is not looking around.

His children know about their father’s condition, but still haven’t seen him in the hospital, Stow’s sister, Bonnie Stow, told HLN. The whole family, she said, is pulling for his recovery and hoping that any brain damage is minimal.

“I don’t think it’s a matter of him surviving,” said Bonnie Stow. “It’s just a matter of what he’ll be, if and when he wakes up.”
