Steven Woolfe, a British member of the European Parliament who strongly backed Britain’s E.U. exit, was recovering in hospital Thursday following an “altercation” with party colleagues in France.
The U.K. Independence Party (UKIP) has not commented on the cause of the fracas. But Woolfe reportedly angered members of his party after saying he was “enthused” by the new Prime Minister Theresa May and had considered defecting to the Conservative Party. He said that he decided to stick with UKIP, however, because it was the only party to “guarantee Brexit is delivered in full.”
Sky News reported that a colleague had punched Woolfe, and he banged his head against a metal railing. He reportedly collapsed some time later.
Woolfe issued a statement on Friday afternoon from his hospital bed saying he was “feeling brighter” and that scans showed that he did not have a blood clot on the brain.
