Guard Sues L.A. Rams Alleging He Suffered Brain Bleed During Fan Brawl

A 71-year-old security guard is suing the Los Angeles Rams … claiming the NFL org.’s negligence led to him suffering “catastrophic” injuries during a violent fan brawl at SoFi Stadium last year.

The man — ID’d in the lawsuit as Robert Leahey — says the incident happened back on Dec. 8, 2022 during the Rams vs. Raiders “Thursday Night Football” game … when he was hired by Contemporary Services Corporation to help assist people in large crowds and help “maintain an orderly atmosphere.”

At around 6:30 PM inside the Inglewood stadium, however, Leahey says a “large fight broke out” between L.A. and Vegas supporters — and he jumped in to try to keep the peace.

But, in the lawsuit, Leahey says as other guards arrived on scene — they pushed him, causing him to fall down a set of concrete stairs.

Leahey claims he hit his head several times while crashing down the stairs — and when he got up, he alleges someone involved in the fight threw a Modelo beer can that connected with his head … ‘causing him further injury.

Leahey says on Dec. 9, he went to a nearby hospital … “where he was tested and diagnosed with severe and catastrophic brain injuries, including a subdural hematoma with brain bleeding.”

In the suit, Leahey claims since the incident, he’s had difficulty with his speech and his vision — while also suffering from headaches. He claims he’s been unable to work as well.
