A political talk show on Georgian television descended into a fist fight after two Parliamentary candidates traded insults and then blows.

The representatives from the Democratic Movement and the Industrials political bloc started to fight while on air at the regional TV network Qvemo Kartli.

It kicked off when Vepkhia Gurgenishvili, candidate from Democratic Movement said: "Why you have invited this scum? I will break glass upon your head now, you schmuck."

His opponent Polad Khalikov, who is the candidate from Industrials then threw a pen, before the pair got into a physical fight.

The brawl was eventually broken up by members of the television crew while the female anchor said: "Sorry for this, we are forced to end the programme".
