State Sen. Charles Bishop hit Sen. Lowell Barron on the floor of the Senate this afternoon.
The Senate was in recess when Bishop, a Republican from Arley, and Barron, a Democrat from Fyffe, started an animated conversation. Bishop suddenly hit Barron in the face, and Barron fell back onto a desk.
Patrick Harris, assistant secretary of the Senate, said he saw Bishop hit Barron and quickly grabbed Bishop and pulled him back.
Bishop in an interview later said Barron called him a s...o...b, so he hit Barron in the face.
"If he calls me that again, it'll happen again," Bishop said.
Barron was not immediately available for comment.
