The police in Niue say they have opened an investigation into a complaint laid by an opposition MP, who says he was punched in the face by a cabinet minister.
Terry Coe says the minister, Billy Talagi, punched him in a corridor following a heated debate in parliament over proposed broadcasting reforms and infrastructure spending.
Mr Talagi denies the incident took place, but the police have confirmed a complaint has been laid and an investigation has begun.
Mr Coe told Jamie Tahana he wants charges laid.
