The Pirates released a statement to Barry Pintar of CBS Pittsburgh on Monday:

"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."

Pintar did note in addition to reviewing the fan footage, the Pirates are looking at security footage that "shows even more" of the altercation.

The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police showed up on the scene and are also involved in the investigation, per Pintar.

Brian Warecki, senior vice president of communications for the Pirates, told Julia Burdelski of TribLive.com the argument began between two male fans and a female food and beverage employee.

Pittsburgh public safety spokeswoman Eliza Durham told Burdelski that no criminal charges have been filed as of Tuesday.

The Padres and Pirates wrapped up their weekend series on Sunday. San Diego won 4-0 to complete a three-game sweep at PNC Park.
