I don't even know where to begin with this one:
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's security detail got into a violent brawl on Friday with U.N. security guards outside the General Assembly hall, leaving at least two U.N. personnel injured, including one who was taken to the hospital, possibly with broken ribs, according to U.N. diplomats and officials.
The altercation occurred as Erdogan, who was at a meeting on a floor above the U.N. General Assembly entrance, learned that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was about to begin his historic speech announcing his bid to become a U.N. member state.

What precisely was the rumble about? Sharks v. Jets?

I'm picturing a similar incident involving George H.W. Bush at a Helmut Kohl speech.

No crying in baseball, and no fighting in the U.N. Come on, these rules aren't all that hard to follow.
From the article: The U.N. is seeking to prevent the incident, first reported by Inner City Press, from developing into a major international dispute, and is expected to issue a statement that will try to put the matter behind them.
International incident? It's just a bunch of employees at the U.N. How could that be an international...wait a minute...those employees weren't SEIU by any chance, were they? If so, the Turks can quit worrying about Iran, Syria, Greece, Israel, and the Kurds -- they'll be in the big leagues.
