A new lawsuit has been filed by fan Patrick Egan claiming he was assaulted by a Pirates employee at PNC Park in May 2025. The incident involved fan Egan and park employee Raymond Stroud III, who Egan alleges began an argument when his friend accidentally bumped into a female employee, leading to an argument. Stroud was suspended during an investigation into the matter last year and Egan claims he was banned from attending any events at the park. The lawsuit alleges that the Pirates and PNC park should provide better training for their employees and hold Stroud accountable for Stroud's actions. The filing also alleges that park officials were negligent in hiring Stroud due to his criminal record. Egan is seeking damages for his medical bills and the pain and suffering caused by negative media attention.
