Dutch politician Thierry Baudet was working a crowded room when the bottle came down.

“I just agreed to do some selfies and videos and short photographs with some members of the audience. And one of them turned out to have an empty bottle of beer in his hand and hit me on my face,” Mr. Baudet, a member of the Dutch House of Representatives, told The Epoch Times in a Nov. 21 interview from the Hague.
