Union of Industrialists candidate Zaza Agladze clashed with opponent Irakli Glonti from State For The People bloc ahead of the country’s parliamentary elections on October 8.
Female news anchor, Maka Razmadze, was left panicked after Agladze, wearing a black suit jacket, poured a glass of water over Glonti during the broadcast this week.
Glonti stood up to confront him and Agladze attempted to throw a punch as the news anchor tried to break up the fight.
The political candidates then launched at each other, with Glonti throwing his own glass of water before running off camera.
Razmadze smoothed down her hair after she was splashed with water and attempted to regain control of the programme by tugging at Agladze’s arm.

But he broke free and continued to throw punches at Glonti.
The anchor threw her hands up in the air and shuffled her scripts before trying once again to stop the fight.
This is the second fight during a televised debate in Georgia in the past week.
On Thursday a brawl broke out between Polad Khalikov, a parliamentary candidate for the Industrial bloc and Democrat Vepkhia Gurgenishvili.
Khalikov reportedly reacted violently and threw his pen after Gurgenishvili called him ‘scum’.
