Italian PM suffers broken teeth.
Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi suffered broken teeth in an attack on Sunday (December 13th).
The 73-year-old was hit in the face at a demonstration in Milan, with his alleged assailant Massimo Tartaglia now under arrest and being questioned by local authorities.
He was rushed to hospital where it was discovered he also had a fractured nose. In response to the assault, Mr Berlusconi blamed rising political pressures as a major contributory cause.
A spokesperson for the PM commented: “This campaign of hatred has been building quite rapidly recently and I am not surprised that what happened tonight took place.”
Mr Berlusconi was voted into his third term as prime minister of the country in April last year.
Elsewhere, US golfer Tiger Woods recently suffered a broken tooth when his wife allegedly threw a mobile phone at him during a heated argument.
The spat followed revelations in the press of Woods’ infidelity with as many ten women.
