UK MP nabbed for fight in parliament

A British MP has been arrested for a fight at a parliamentary bar after he was dismissed from the Labour party last year for a similar brawl in the parliament.

Eric Joyce was reportedly arrested at Westminster’s Sports and Social Club and is now in custody.

The Metropolitan Police has confirmed that they had to deal with a situation at the Sports and Social Club bar but did not name the detainee.

“Officers attended and a man aged in his 50s was arrested in connection with this incident. He remains in custody and inquiries continue,” a spokesman said.

Last year, Joyce was found guilty of four counts of assault and was given 12 month’s community service after he headbutted Conservative MP Stuart Andews and struck two Tory councilors as well as Labour lawmaker Phil Wilson.
