Republican People's Party nominee for Istanbul mayor, Mustafa Sarigül, after receiving criticism, punches civilian in retaliation. In 2005 Sarigül similarly struck CHP's Bakirköy Mayor, Ateş Ünal Erzen
Istanbul (Daily Sabah) Sarıgül, while making sarcastic remarks about AK Party and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, was interrupted and began getting protested by the crowd in Feshane, Istanbul.
Sarıgül was forced to step down from the podium and was not able to finish his speech.
While making his way to the exit door, Sarıgül got into an altercation with a citizen who was protesting and ended by punching the person.
This marks the second time Sarıgül struck a person, punching mayor of Bakırköy, Ateş Ünal Erzen in 2005.
Like a scene from the movie Anger Management Sarıgül clearly could not control himself, yet again.
A video captured by a cameraman clearly shows Sarıgül striking the person.
