Italian PM and AC Milan president Silvo Berlusconi was left bleeding and in total shock after he was hit in the face by an object thrown by a protestor during a political rally on Sunday evening.

Berlusconi, 72, suffered a fractured nose and two broken teeth as he was assaulted by a man believed to be suffering from mental illness outside the Piazza del Duomo, Milan.

The Italian PM was struck by an ornament of Milan cathedral to round off a miserable Sunday for the AC Milan owner as he also saw his beloved Rossoneri outfit crash to their first defeat since September as they were shocked 2-0 by Palermo at the San Siro.

Catch the unsavoury incident below which left the Davioli owner red-faced indeed!
