Two Georgian politicians clashed with more than just words during a live television debate ahead of the country's parliamentary elections. Union of Industrialists candidate Zaza Agladze poured a glass of water over his opponent Irakli Glonti from State For The People bloc. The two then started pushing and kicking each other, as the moderator tried to keep them apart. This was the second televised debate in the past week in which Georgian politicians came to blows.
