During the sixth inning of Saturday's game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Colorado Rockies at PNC Park, a fan was beaten and tasered by police.

Brian Warecki, Director of Communications for the Pirates, said in a statement that the fan was "using excessive foul language and disrupting other fans' enjoyment of the game."

He also said the man threatened the PNC Park staff employees after he was asked to leave.

The fan appeared to be unaffected by the tasers and it took two officers to detain him.
