Georgian MP punched in the face at dispatch box during parliamentary debate

MPs came to blows during a debate in parliament on a controversial foreign agents’ bill after opposition MP Aleko Elisashvili punched the leader of the ruling Georgian Dream party, Mamuka Mdinaradze, in the face during a speech.
