Overview
- Patrick Egan, who was involved in a May 4, 2025 altercation at PNC Park, filed an Allegheny County lawsuit Tuesday alleging assault, battery, negligence, and invasion of privacy.
- Witness video shows game-day employee Raymond Stroud III punching Egan multiple times and later swinging a belt, and the suit says Egan suffered a concussion, a chipped tooth, and a bloody lip.
- The complaint says the Pirates and PNC Park failed to release surveillance footage, were negligent in hiring and training Stroud, and it seeks damages for medical bills and pain and suffering.
- Team officials suspended Stroud during last year's internal review and called his conduct unacceptable, and police said no criminal charges were filed.
- Pirates' lawyers contend Egan provoked the fight by spitting on an employee, a claim at the heart of a dispute that could test how far teams are liable for workers' actions in fan confrontations.
