Jordanian Reporters Brawl Over Syria

Two Jordanian political commentators got into a heated physical confrontation while discussing Syria on television, leading the two to tear apart the studio.

The two reporters were discussing Syrian President Bashar al Assad’s continued war against his people when one reporter called the other a "deviant," according to video of the incident published by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

The heated rhetoric eventually sparked a physical fight in which one reporter overturned a desk and tore it apart. The two were eventually separated by another person in the studio.
