49ers fan out of coma month after being punched by Rams fan at SoFi Stadium

49ers fan assaulted at SoFi Stadium out of medically-induced coma

Daniel Luna, the San Francisco 49ers fan who was put into a medically-induced coma after a fight in a SoFi Stadium parking lot ahead of the NFC Championship game, has regained consciousness.

OAKLAND, Calif. - The family of an Oakland chef Daniel Luna, who was punched in the head and fell to the ground in a suspected beating at the NFC Championship game between the Rams and 49ers at SoFi Stadium last month, said he is now out of a medically induced coma and hopes to one day return to his restaurant, Mistura, when he is able.

But it's not going to be easy for the 40-year-old Luna, family friend and crisis communications expert Sam Singer told KTVU on Tuesday.

Arrest made in assault of 49ers fan at SoFi

Bryan Cifuentes Rossell, 33, was arrested for allegedly punching 49ers fan Daniel Luna in a parking lot at SoFi Stadium Sunday. Luna has since been in a medically-induced coma.

"He is significantly disabled," Singer said, not going into too much detail.

Luna, however, can now walk with assistance and is attending physical therapy.

Singer, who is a regular customer at Luna's restaurant on Piedmont Avenue, said Luna is expected to be released from the hospital this month.

"He hopes to return to his restaurant someday and return to his cooking and all his wonderful customers," Singer said.

Efforts to speak to his wife so far have been unsuccessful.

At first, it appeared as though Luna was the victim of a senseless attack.

However, the mayor of Inglewood indicated Luna was the first to shove another man from behind who then retaliated with a punch to Luna's head.
