Upon leaving the Soma Municipality building, Erdogan noticed that a young man was protesting him, Haber.sol of Turkey reported.

At that point, the police detained the young man. This, however, angered the people who were gathered and, as a result, they began to strongly protest the Turkey PM.

Subsequently, Erdogan entered a nearby store, to avoid the people’s wrath, where he allegedly punched a person who was protesting him.
