Pat McAfee speaks at the ESPY awards on Wednesday, July 12, 2023, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

A fight broke out during Pat McAfee’s Pittsburgh show Wednesday night — and a video of the brawl is gaining traction on social media.

The video of the fight was uploaded to the Steelers Depot account on the social media platform X, with the hashtags #Steelers and #NFL.

As depicted in the video, multiple attendees were involved in the altercation, and one person fell down the stairs face first before being punched numerous times. Security can be seen getting involved in the video as well.

As of Thursday morning, the post had garnered over 88,000 views, 403 likes, 54 retweets, 55 comments and 61 bookmarks on X.

“Building security and Pittsburgh police responded and escorted those involved out of the building. There were no arrests,” said Cara Cruz, Pittsburgh police spokeswoman.

The ex-NFL player’s PPG Paints Arena show was titled “Pat McAfee’s Big Night Aht,” and it lasted several hours. Tickets were sold out. Special guests included Jelly Roll, Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg.

McAfee is also a wrestling commentator and host of the massively popular sports talk program “The Pat McAfee Show.”
