Former Albanian president Sali Berisha was punched in the face by a thug today during an anti-government protest in the capital of Tirana.
The opposition leader, 78, was leading hundreds of protesters towards the venue of a summit of EU leaders and their Western Balkan counterparts in Tirana when a 31-year-old man emerged from the crowd and attacked the politician.
Video shows Berisha, who leads the centre-right Democratic Party, being thrown backwards by the powerful punch while his bodyguards rushed to subdue the attacker.
Berisha, a former president and prime minister of Albania, was later seen gently dabbing his black eye with a handkerchief.
