The spokesman for Greece's far-right party Golden Dawn threw a glass of water at a female leftist politician and also slapped another one in the face on live television yesterday, causing a huge political uproar and leading a prosecutor to seek his arrest.
The morning talk show on private television station Antenna was interrupted by the incident and Ilias Kasidiaris was locked in a room at the TV studio. However, he broke down a door and escaped, the TV host said.
Police have been told to track Kasidiaris down and arrest him, according to a court official.
What was a heated debate over the June 17 elections descended into chaos when Kasidiaris threw a glass of water at the female leftist party member, Rena Dourou, calling her a "joke."
As other participants watched in stunned silence, Communist party deputy Liana Kanelli intervened on Dourou's behalf, throwing a newspaper at Kasidiaris, who called her a "commie," stood up, pushed her and hit her hard in the face.
