Police said Luna was wearing a 49ers jersey and had injuries to his face, head and upper body.
Luna was rushed to an emergency room at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Southern California and eventually placed into a medically-induced coma, Meeks said.
Luna is the owner and chef of Oakland Peruvian restaurant Mistura, located on Piedmont and Rio Vista avenues.

Mistura posted a statement on their website Wednesday night that stated that they were temporarily closed.
The attack against Luna is a reminder of the assault on Brian Stow.
Stow, a Bay Area Giants fan was viciously beaten in the Dodger Stadium parking lot in 2011. Stow sustained brain injury, while his attackers were later caught and convicted.
Police were notified by hospital staff that Luna's injuries apparently stemmed from an assault. Detectives are reviewing surveillance footage from the area and conducting an assault investigation, Meeks said.
“We are aware and saddened by the incident. Our thoughts are with Mr. Luna's friends and family during this difficult time. We are working with law enforcement officials in their investigation," said SoFi Stadium in a statament.
