A Pittsburgh Pirates Stadium Usher has been suspended after being seen using his belt to whip a fan during a fist match at PNC Park on Sunday.
The video begins by showing Usher and Fan who are face to face in a heated argument before the employee beats the tab in the face several times.

Other fans are seen that will break the fight, but the break is only temporary.
Just a few seconds later, the tab is spit on Usher, which then takes off his belt and whips the tab with it several times.
Recordings of the video were originally sent to Tiktok. The original poster has deleted the recordings, but it has been recycled across social media.
“After the end of yesterday’s game when the last few fans left the ballpark, there was a verbal quarrel between two male guests and a female food and drinking employee. At that time, Ballpark Game-Day employee watched in the video tried to intervene on her behalf,” Pirates Senior Vice President of Communications told Pakinomist Digital.
“We are aware of the unfortunate incident that took place after the end of yesterday’s game between a PNC Park game-day employee and a guest. The employee’s behavior was completely unacceptable and he was immediately suspended. This incident is currently under further investigation.”
The incident came just days after another fan was seriously injured during a Pirates game at PNC Park.
Kavan Markwood, a 20-year-old ex-college footballer, fell more than 20 meters above PNC Park’s right field wall during a game against Chicago Cubs.

The organizer of a Gofundme page for Markwood shared an update on Saturday, which he improves.
“After everything he has been through since the accident on Wednesday night, this progress feels nothing short of miraculously,” wrote organizer Jennifer Phillips, who once taught Markwood. “He still has a long way in front of him, but today brought a moment of hope that we have all held on to.”
In the midst of all chaos, the pirates pull through a mediocre season. At 12-25 Pittsburgh is in last place in the NL Central Division.
