"The drunk tried to punch his girlfriend in the face, and Mr. Bergin tried to push him out of the way and took the hit instead," said Bergin's attorney, Barry Novack, per the Los Angeles Daily News. "He broke his nose and dislocated his knee when he fell."

Novack alleged the attacker was served too much alcohol and that the Rams didn't have the proper security measures in place or enough personnel to be more proactive in handling the situation. He added the team "should have anticipated that the crowds would be rowdy and there could be fan violence."

Bergin is suing for unspecified damages.
