Three more suspects have been arrested in connection with the 40-person brawl before Saturday’s UCLAUSC football game at the Rose Bowl.

Arthur Cisneros, 25; Akira Cisneros, 24, and Anthony Cisneros, 22, were arrested Monday night by Pasadena police on suspicion of attempted murder. The three Winnekta residents are being held on $1 million bail each, according to Pasadena police Lt. Tracy Ibarra.

Their father Arturo Cisneros, 44, was released pending further investigation from Pasadena Jail Tuesday morning, Ibarra said. Arturo Cisneros was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder Saturday at the Rose Bowl.

Steven Michael Radu, 27, and Joshua Elder, 24, were also arrested Saturday and arraigned Monday at Pasadena Superior Court, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney. Both Elder and Radu were charged with one count each of resisting arrest. Radu was charged with a felony for trying to free Elder from police custody, while Elder was charged with a misdemeanor for exhibiting a deadly weapon.

Elder and Radu were released Monday on the condition that they appear at their Dec. 16 preliminary hearing.

Two people were stabbed in Saturday’s melee. Vimal Patel, a 24-year-old Cal State Fullerton student, suffered several stabbing wounds to his back and is still in the hospital as of Tuesday morning, according to Ibarra. Joshua Dirling, 27, was stabbed in the face, treated and released from the hospital Saturday night.

Ibarra could not give any more details about the case because it is an ongoing investigation.
Undercover Pasadena police officers saw Elder pull out a knife, then identified themselves as police and tried to arrest Elder, according to the district attorney’s office. Radu joined Elder in fighting with officers, the district attorney’s report added.

Police said Saturday that two officers suffered minor injuries; one had a sprained ankle, the other a sprained wrist.
