Police in Bratislava are dealing with allegations of assault after a violent fracas between two female MPs, Jana Bittó Cigániková of Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) and Romana Tabák from the Sme Rodina party. The former has filed a lawsuit against the latter for physical assault in a night club in the capital. The incident took place on the evening of Friday, September 23, Cigániková reported in a post on social media.
Tabák admits to having struck the SaS MP in the club, but claims she did so in self-defence. She is calling on Cigániková to step down as head of the parliamentary committee on health.
The city police have not provided any more detailed information.

In an interview with the Sme daily, Cigániková said she was attending a concert in a Bratislava club on Friday evening together with friends, including her husband. After the concert she went to a VIP section to talk to the musicians and unexpectedly encountered Tabák.
