It is unclear what triggered the unfortunate incident, however, the duo were engaged in a heated debate on a live radio show, espousing the policies and programmes of their respective political parties on Naagyei FM at Ejura in the Ashanti Region.

From the video sighted by YEN.com.gh on Facebook, Osman appeared to have had enough of Abdul-Rahman Hudu's interjections and began to attack him physically.
