Adrian Lewis, a two-time Darts World Champion and protégé of Phil Taylor, has been suspended by the PDC for an on-stage altercation with Jose Justicia on Friday night.

During a UK Open qualifier, in a far tamer backdrop than one would usually associate with professional darts, Lewis became increasingly irritated with Justicia.

Although it would appear that it was the Spaniard who had the greater reason to be upset, Lewis became increasingly agitated during the tight affair.

Lewis would see out the tie, losing in the next round to Michael van Gerwen. However, he has since been suspended.
