The outlet reported Dominello was injured during a lunch break and was later seen wearing a sling after the incident. “He fractured his humerus bone and was treated in the public hospital system,” a spokesman for Dominello said.

The incident is apparently not the first time Australian politicians got a bit too physical with each other.
