A Pittsburgh Pirates gameday employee has been suspended by the team following a physical altercation with two fans that was caught on video following Sunday's game at PNC Park.

The incident after Sunday’s game followed what the team said was “a verbal altercation” between two fans and a female food and beverage worker.

The fan wobbles away but takes off his jacket and goads the employee to fight before spitting on the employee at least twice. At that point, the employee takes off his belt and begins whipping the fan, who frantically backs away while others intervene. On Monday, the Pirates told KDKA that the employee had been suspended.
