Kavan Markwood, the fan who fell 20 feet onto the home field of the Pittsburgh Pirates on April 30, spoke publicly for the first time to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on Wednesday.

Kavan Markwood, 20, was in critical condition after the accident, which happened in the seventh inning of the Pirates game against the Chicago Cubs last week

The fan wobbles away but takes off his jacket and goads the employee to fight before spitting on the employee at least twice. At that point, the employee takes off his belt and begins whipping the fan, who frantically backs away while others intervene. On Monday, the Pirates told KDKA that the employee had been suspended.
