Shamed politician Eric Joyce was arrested following a late-night brawl at a bar in the House of Commons on Thursday night.
Eric Joyce resigned from the Labour Party last year
The independent Member of Parliament for Falkirk was held after the incident at the Sports and Social Club bar.
Last year Joyce pleaded guilty to assault after an incident in Parliament's Strangers Bar. He resigned from the Labour Party and said he would not contest the next General Election.

"Officers attended and a man aged in his 50s was arrested in connection with this incident.
"He remains in custody and inquiries continue."
