A Ukrainian council member was knocked out cold during a heated meeting after two opposing factions came to blows.
Tempers flared and punches were thrown in the Kiev Regional Council on Tuesday, provoked by a discussion on the regional budget.
When the council chairwoman announced vote for the session's agenda, deputies from Piotr Poroshenko Block party walked onto the podium with the intention to disrupt it.
As the chairwoman tried to push one of them away, a deputy from Yulia Tymoshenko Block came to assist her and was hit in the face by a member of the rival faction.
