The KMT lawmakers showed up at the back door of the chamber at about 5am and tried to enter, but were stopped by several Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) lawmakers who were guarding the door.
Scuffles broke out as the KMT lawmakers tried to force their way through the door, injuring legislators on both sides.
