SEREMBAN: Punches were thrown at the Pakatan Harapan command centre following unofficial reports of its candidate Dr S. Streram's defeat in the Rantau by-election.
It is understood that a PKR member from Kuala Lumpur had blamed local members for the defeat and this caused a shouting match where expletives were exchanged.
In minutes, the situation deteriorated and punches were thrown.
A reporter who was recording the scuffle was told to stop before his mobile phone was confiscated.
It is learnt that police are currently at the scene.
