Georgain parliamentary punch-up
- 9 years ago
As parliamentary debates go this one in Georgia seems to be running along in the ususal fashion.
But things take a sudden turn as emotions get heated.
What was a debate about the selection process for delegates to international bodies rapidly develops into something resembling a bar-room brawl.
Microphones are ripped out by some to use as weapons.
Local media said three people were hurt in the scuffles.
The session resumed after a break and the issue that led to the flare-up of violence was settled with a vote more in line with parliamentary practice.
