Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, was punched in the face at the end of a rally on yesterday Sunday by a man holding a small statue in his hand, leaving the 73-year-old media mogul with a bloodied mouth.
The Italian Premier is being treated for a fractured nose bone, two damaged teeth and cuts to his lips which required stitches.
The 42-year-old man, Massimo Tartaglia (circled), accused of attacking Berlusconi in Milan as he signed autographs was immediately taken into custody.

Some leaders really deserve to be punched...but I feel there's almost something wrong with hitting a 73 year old in the face...
Thoughts???
