PhotoLONDON — Steven Woolfe, a member of the European Parliament and a likely candidate to lead the right-wing U.K. Independence Party, was hospitalized on Thursday after what the party said was an “altercation” at a meeting of fellow lawmakers in Strasbourg, France. An image from ITV News showed a man identified as Mr. Woolfe, dressed in a blue suit, lying on the floor and apparently unconscious. Mr. Woolfe is expected to be a contender to replace her. Mr. Woolfe was not believed at first to have suffered any ill effects from the altercation, but he later collapsed in the Parliament building.
