Former Liberal MP and Toronto mayoral candidate John Nunziata has been charged with assault for allegedly attacking his ex-wife's boyfriend.
Nunziata, 53, says the charges allegedly stem from an altercation involving Murray Milthorpe at a hockey arena. Nunziata and his wife, Caroline Brett, divorced last year.
Reports say Nunziata's ex-wife's boyfriend, Murray Milthorpe, allegedly made a comment that upset Nunziata's 14-year-old daughter. After approaching Milthorpe, Nunziata was allgedly pushed and told off.
It's also alleged that Nunziata kicked his ex-wife's new partner in the buttocks.
The former politician denies the allegations and says he's upset his children are in the midst of it all.
None of the allegations have been proven in court.
