Chaos Erupts in Bahamian Parliament as Opposition MP Throws Ceremonial Mace
A parliamentary session in the Bahamas descended into chaos when opposition MP Shanendon Cartwright threw a ceremonial mace out of a window. The dramatic incident occurred during a heated exchange over allegations linking police officials to drug trafficking, which the Speaker, Patricia Deveaux, refused to allow Opposition Leader Michael Pintard to address. The uproar began when Pintard sought to discuss serious allegations involving the Royal Bahamas Police Force as outlined in a U.S. indictment. Frustrated by the Speaker's refusal to permit his comments, Cartwright's actions escalated into a physical confrontation, resulting in injuries to both Deputy Speaker Sylvanus Petty and a police officer. ???? @bbcnew
