A Pirates Security Guy Uses a Belt to Beat a Fan in the Stadium

After being caught whipping a fan with his belt during a fistfight at PNC Park on Sunday, a Pittsburgh Pirates stadium usher has been suspended.

Before the staffer repeatedly hits the fan in the face, the video opens with the usher and fan standing face-to-face in a furious disagreement. There is a brief pause as other fans arrive to break up the altercation.

The usher removes his belt and repeatedly lashes the fan with it after the fan is caught spitting on him a few seconds later. The video’s original footage was uploaded on TikTok. The video has gone viral even though the original poster removed it.

Brian Warecki, senior VP of communications for the Pirates, told Fox News Digital:

“Following the conclusion of yesterday’s game, as the final few fans were exiting the ballpark, there was a verbal altercation between two male guests and a female food and beverage employee. At that time, the ballpark game-day employee seen in the video attempted to intervene on her behalf,”

“We are aware of the unfortunate incident that occurred following the conclusion of yesterday’s game between a PNC Park game-day employee and a guest. The employee’s behavior was entirely unacceptable, and he was immediately suspended. This incident is currently under further investigation.”

Days prior, at a Pirates game at PNC Park, another fan suffered serious injuries.
