A violent altercation was captured on video between fans during the Rams’ win over the Texans on Sunday, which left a woman bloodied when the dust settled.
The fight took place inside SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., as the game action was taking place down on the field, though it wasn’t clear when during the season opener the altercation occurred.
A four-minute video showed a female fan wearing sunglasses and a Texans jersey engaged in a contentious conversation with another female fan in a Rams jersey and a male fan in a No. 99 Aaron Donald jersey, seemingly trying to stay between the two.
However, the female Rams fan shoved the female Texans fan before the male Rams fan tried to keep the female Texans fan from going back at the other woman, and a man — wearing a Texans jersey — attempted to keep the sunglasses-wearing woman from going back at the other female.

The two women continued jawing at each other before the woman in the Rams jersey shoved the other woman again, and eventually the man wearing the Texans jersey dumped a beer on the woman wearing the Rams jersey — escalating the situation as others then became involved.
At one point, a man in a Rams jersey and cap and holding a child, connected a right hook on the man wearing the Texans jersey.
The fighting appeared to have subsided, while people in the section yelled at the two Texans fans, when the woman in the Rams jersey threw the back of her fist and then threw a punch with her left hand on the female Texans fan, leaving her bloodied, and reigniting the fisticuffs.
Eventually, SoFi Stadium security arrived on the scene and tried to get control of the situation.
The woman who had been struck in the face had blood all over her as she argued with security.
The Texans fans were eventually escorted up to the concourse.

A spokesperson for the Rams and Inglewood police didn’t immediately respond to noti.group’s request for comment.
Those scenes have become somewhat commonplace in recent years at NFL stadiums with fan violence seemingly on the rise.
A violent encounter among fans in Arizona at State Farm Stadium in September led to three men being arrested for misdemeanor assault, which was the second brutal encounter caught on camera that weekend during an NFL game.

During the NFL’s opening weekend, another video surfaced of a Giants fan being attacked by Commanders fans outside of Northwest Stadium.
And a Bills fan was indefinitely banned from NFL stadiums after he hit two Ravens players in their helmets while they celebrated a touchdown.
