Two Lebanese politicians debating unrest in neighbouring Syria exchanged blows on live television, showing the divide between factions over the relationship with Damascus.
The fight broke out during a debate between the anti-Syrian Mustafa Alloush and the head of the Lebanese branch of Syria's ruling Baath party, Fayez Shukur.
Mr Alloush called Syrian President Bashar al-Assad a liar, and the politicians hurled glasses of water at each other. Mr Shukur then picked up a chair and tried to hit Mr Alloush with it.
