The Buzz | UKIP lawmaker hospitalized after altercation with colleagues

A European Parliament member from Britain’s right-wing U.K. Independence Party — the front-runner to be UKIP’s next leader — was in serious condition in a hospital after an “altercation” yesterday with colleagues.
Party leader Nigel Farage said “following an altercation that took place at a meeting of UKIP MEPs” at the parliament in Strasbourg, France, “Steven Woolfe subsequently collapsed and was taken to hospital. His condition is serious.”
The party said it was awaiting an update on Woolfe’s condition. According to media reports, Woolfe was punched yesterday, hit his head and collapsed some time later.
European Parliament spokeswoman confirmed that emergency services were called after Woolfe had a medical incident in front of the European parliament chamber.
