Santa Clara police had a lot on their hands at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday. 

The San Francisco 49ers beat the Las Vegas Raiders 38-17. But the game was marred by violence in and around said venue. 

According to the New York Post, star offensive lineman Trent Williams sensed something different in the building. He said he had not felt that kind of energy from fans at Levi’s Stadium before.

“The fan engagement with this game is nuts,” Williams said. “It’s through the roof.”

Defensive end Keion White spoke to reporters in the locker room after the win. He said the 49ers noticed the fights from the field. “We were seeing people fight in the stands,” he said.

The worst of it occurred outside, where several people ended up on the pavement. Video also surfaced of two fans getting knocked out cold after a fight outside the game.

Police have since released the totals. Lt. Eric Lagergren told the Post that officers made 11 arrests and ejected 45 people.

Santa Clara Police Say Fan-On-Fan Violence Will Not Be Tolerated

Lagergren said, “public safety staff and security staff responded to all known incidents of fan-on-fan violence.”

Police are still investigating several brawls that fans filmed and shared online. The outlet says some combatants kept hitting at least one man after he fell. That footage includes a 49ers fan getting knocked unconscious face-down.

“Incidents of violence at large-scale events in Santa Clara will not be tolerated,” Lagergren said. “The Department strictly enforces the law and holds individuals accountable for criminal conduct.”

He added that police will pursue the people responsible. Lagergren also asked witnesses to contact the department or its anonymous tip line.
