A live televised debate on communism took a shocking turn when a guest punched a journalist in the face after he called his grandparents fascists.
The incident happened during Polish TV's Mesto Vstrechi - or Meeting Place - as journalist Tomasz Maciejczuk and Ruslan Ostashko, editor of online news website PolitRussia, discussed the country's Soviet legacy.
The mood took a swift nosedive when Maciejczuk accused Ostashko's ancestors of being fascists.
Ostashko warned him not to say it again, but Maciejczuk replied: 'Your grandfathers are red fascists'.
Within seconds, angry Ostashko marched across the TV studio's set and hit Maciejczuk with a right hook.
The pair brawled through the television studio, and they were even joined by Ukrainian writer Elena Boyko.
Programme staff and security officers eventually broke up the live TV brawl.
