The video begins by showing the use and the standing fan face to face in an animated argument before the staff hit the fan several times.

Other fans are seen to break the fight, but the break is only temporary.
A few seconds later, the fan is seen spitting on the Usher, which then removes its belt and whips the fan several times.
Video images were initially published on Tiktok. The original poster deleted the images, but it was recirculated on social networks.
“Following the conclusion of yesterday’s match, when the last fans came out of the stadium, there was a verbal altercation between two male guests and a female employee of food and drinks. At that time, the employee of the bullet day of the ball seen in the video tried to intervene on her name,” said Brian Warecki, vice-president of pirate communications.
“We are aware of the unhappy incident that occurred following the conclusion of yesterday’s match between an employee of the day of the PNC Park match and a guest. The employee’s behavior was fully unacceptable, and he was immediately suspended. This incident is currently under further investigation.”
The incident occurred just a few days after another fan was seriously injured in a pirate match at PNC Park.
Kavan Markwood, a 20 -year -old former football player, fell more than 20 feet on the PNC Park’s right wall in a match against the Chicago Cubs.

The organizer of a GoFundme page for Markwood shared an update on Saturday that he improves.
“After all that he has experienced since the accident on Wednesday evening, this progress feels nothing less than miraculous,” wrote the organizer Jennifer Phillips, who has once taught Markwood. “He still has a long road in front of him, but today brought a moment of hope that we all stood.”
In the middle of all chaos, the pirates rush through a mediocre season. At 12-25, Pittsburgh is last place in the central division of the NL.
