1:42Now PlayingGeorgian lawmakers came to blows in parliament on Monday (April 15) as ruling party legislators looked set to advance a controversial bill on "foreign agents" that has been criticized by Western countries and sparked protests at home.
Footage broadcast on Georgian television showed Mamuka Mdinaradze, leader of the ruling Georgian Dream party's parliamentary faction and a driving force behind the bill, being punched in the face by opposition MP Aleko Elisashvili while speaking from the despatch box.
The incident prompted a wider brawl between several lawmakers, an occasional occurrence in Georgia's often raucous parliament.
Georgian Dream said earlier this month it would reintroduce legislation requiring organizations that accept funds from abroad to register as foreign agents or face fines, 13 months after protests forced it to shelve the plan.
