Venezuela National Assembly stormed by Maduro supporters
About 100 government supporters have burst into Venezuela's opposition-controlled National Assembly, where they beat up several lawmakers.
Witnesses said the confrontation came after an assembly session to mark the country's Independence Day.
Military police guarding the site stood by as intruders brandishing sticks and pipes broke through the gate, AFP said. The government vowed to investigate.
About 350 people were besieged for hours, the assembly's speaker said.
Julio Borges said on Twitter that 108 journalists, as well as students and visitors, were among those stuck inside.
Mr Borges also named five of the lawmakers injured. Some were taken away for medical treatment.
