Prime Minister Justin Trudeau grabs Tory MP Gord Brown and also appears to bump NDP MP Ruth Ellen Brosseau in the House of Commons Wednesday.

The incident took place in the aisle before the vote.

It all left Ramsey "speechless and enraged."

Conservative MP Michelle Remple noted online that Ramsey stood her ground during the fracas.

Ramsey said the prime minister swore as he approached Brown andthe opposition benches.

"He said 'Get the bleep out of the way,'" Ramsey said, adding Trudeau "violently" grabbed Brown.

Windsor West NDP MP Brian Masse gave his account of what happened on Facebook.

"From my seat, I saw Justin Trudeau move towards a group with unusual speed in the House of Commons, he then pushed in and pulled and turned with an inappropriate amount of force," he wrote. "This action resulted in a significant disturbance that made physical contact."
