(after they fell out over utility legislation)
By Daily Mail Reporter
A Democrat senator squared up to a Republican and punched him on the senate floor after a heated debate spiraled out of control, it has been reported.
Senator Mike Jacobs, from northern Illinois, is said to have marched over to Republican Metro East senator Kyle McCarter yesterday evening, swearing and pointing his finger at him.
He then allegedly punched his colleague in the chest before fellow senators intervened, pulling the pair apart.
