A call to a Dodgers spokesman seeking comment wasn't immediately returned Monday.
ABC reports that according to the friend of the victim who tweeted about the incident, the victim, who has not been identified is from Southern California, not New York City.
Horrified witness Maria Cerecer caught the scene on camera.
'I walked closer and there was a gentleman on the floor and was bleeding profusely from the head. We got free rally towels that night, so they were holding the rally towels to his head,' she said.
Witnesses say that the suspect is a tall man with blonde hair and that the fight broke out after a argument.

Security at Dodger Stadium came under national scrutiny after a 2011 attack in the parking lot on opening day left San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow with brain damage.
Two men - Marvin Norwood and Louie Sanchez - later were imprisoned after pleading guilty.
Stow sued the Dodgers and their former owner Frank McCourt, saying they were to blame for the attack because of insufficient security and lighting.
A jury faulted the team, along with Sanchez and Norwood, and awarded Stow nearly $18 million after a six-week trial in 2014.
