The Giants fan who was attacked by two unidentified men at Dodgers' opening day, remains in a medically induced coma.

City officials said they wanted the suspects responsible to own up. Councilmen Ed Reyes, whose district includes Dodger Stadium, had a stern message for the attackers.

"[To the] cowards who did this, I know your listening. I know you're out there. You have to know that we will find you. We will track you down," Reyes said. "You're better off turning yourself in."

The victim, Bryan Stow, suffered major head injuries. Doctors said he will likely have brain damage.

His family was at the press conference, but didn't speak. Mayor Villaraigosa offered his sympathies to them.

"I can safely say, on behalf of virtually every single resident, and there are almost 4 million of them here in the city of Los Angeles, that we can say to the Stow family that our hearts and prayers are with you and your family in this very difficult time," he said.

Villaraigosa also spoke on behalf of the family who told him they know the attack doesn't reflect the Dodger spirit. However, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said things will be changing at Dodger games.

"There's a homestand next week. If you got that homestand you're going to see a sea of blue, and it's not going to be 'Dodger Blue'. It's going to be LAPD blue," Beck said. "Public safety in this city is my responsibility and I will make sure I expend whatever resource necessary to keep fans safe at Dodger Stadium."

LAPD said they believe at least 100 people witnessed the assault. Currently, a reward stands for $100,000 for the suspects. Officials encourage those with information to call 1-877-LAPD, or go to their website and click on "report a crime".
