He thought his Brother was in an altercation with protesters and was running to get his punches in and bowled over a Councillor in the process.

Toronto City Council broke into chaos Monday afternoon after Mayor Rob Ford seemingly charged towards a spectator in the galley, knocking over a city councillor in the process, while his brother Doug Ford screamed “scumbags” at the public.

The crowd started yelling “shame, shame, shame” to the mayor, who began shouting back.

The mayor then took off running, hitting Councillor Pam McConnell, knocking her backwards, before catching her and helping her steady herself.

Councillor Paula Fletcher asked the mayor to apologize to Ms. McConnell, whose lip was swollen, she said. The mayor said he was trying to rush over to get to Councillor Ford, whom he thought was involved in an altercation.

“I apologize to anyone I accidentally hit when my brother was in an altercation over there,” said Mayor Ford.
