A scuffle broke out in Taiwan's parliament, with lawmakers exchanging punches because of disagreement over a bill put forward by the opposition.
The fight erupted Tuesday as the Democratic Progressive Party of President Chen Shui-bian tried to stop a vote on a proposal by the opposition Nationalist Party to set up a National Communications Commission - an independent media watchdog. The two parties disagree sharply over how the body should be formed.
The Nationalist Party and its allies have a small majority in the 225 seat legislature.
At least two lawmakers were hurt in the brawl. Scuffles among members of Taiwan's parliament are fairly common.
The Nationalists' 51-year grip on power in Taiwan was broken by President Chen Shui-bian's Democratic Progressive Party in 2000.
