(CNN/RT) — An all-out brawl on the floor of the Ukraine's parliament left a member with a torn ear and others thrown out of the session.
The fight started when members tried to prevent two newly elected members from being sworn in to Parliament. According to Ukrainian law, police can't intervene when Parliament members fight.
The session was suspended and resumed the next day.
