Overview

• During the third inning of Friday’s Dodgers–Yankees game, a chunk of concrete allegedly fell from the stadium’s upper tier and struck Ricardo Aquino in the back.
• Aquino, a fan from Mexico City, received on-site medical attention for pain and was left shaken but not bleeding.
• Multiple nearby spectators corroborated Aquino’s account and voiced concerns over potential hazards in the seating areas.
• The Los Angeles Dodgers have acknowledged the report and are compiling information before releasing a detailed statement.
• Opened in 1962, Dodger Stadium has faced previous safety scrutiny, including a 2023 incident that injured Aaron Judge and prompted added wall padding.
