Fight In Ukraine`s Parliament

A fist-fight has broken out in the Georgian parliament, with politicians from the ruling and opposition parties trading punches and striking each other with microphone stands.

The brawl erupted during a debate on the composition of Georgian delegations in international institutions.

It began after a member of the ruling coalition swore at a member of the opposition United National Movement.

Video shows a number of politicians joining in the fray, punching and pushing each other over desks while arguing.

A man at the centre of the fight climbed onto a desk before lunging at his fellow parliamentarians and falling to the ground.

His colleagues eventually managed to calm the him down and the fight ended with the politicians dispersing.

It is not the first fist-fight seen in European parliaments this year: a Ukraine parliament sitting in July descended into a brawl over a discussion of downed Malaysia Airlines flight MH17.
