He described the object as a large pocket knife, and the question is how someone was able to get that kind of weapon past stadium security.
Díaz Leal is in stable condition and is expected to make a full recovery. He is not able to eat or drink due to his injuries.
Police are looking for two people, a man they believe is in his 30s and the woman he was with.
The victim explained that right now he is focusing on his recovery, but that his attacker had the clear intention to kill him and he just wants justice.
