Senegal’s parliament turned chaotic on Thursday after opposition MP Massata Samb hit Amy Ndiaye Gniby from the ruling party.
The brawl took place during a budget presentation.
In videos circulating on social media, the agitated Amy Ndiaye Gniby could be seen throwing a chair at her attacker.
Since a July legislative election where the ruling party lost its comfortable majority, there has been tension between the ruling and opposition politicians.
