A defendant surprised a judge and attacked her while she was speaking during a trial session in the state of Nevada, USA, according to a video captured by courtroom cameras.
In the strange incident that took place at the Clark County court on Wednesday, Judge Mary Kay Holthaus refused to grant bail to the defendant Debra Redin.
The defendant’s lawyer was requesting bail release for his client under supervision, but the judge said, "I think it's time to taste something else."
While the judge was speaking, the defendant suddenly attacked her, flying through the air and jumping over the table in front of her, attacking her with a sudden movement.
American media reported that the judge and her assistant were injured in the incident, and only the assistant was taken to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Redin was charged with attempted assault causing serious bodily harm, the same charge he was originally being tried for, and is scheduled to return to court on Thursday.
The court said in a statement provided to the American news channel "Fox News": "We commend the heroic actions of our staff, law enforcement officials, and others who subdued the defendant."
It continued: "The court remains committed to safe courtrooms. We are reviewing all our protocols and will do whatever is necessary to protect the judiciary, the public, and our employees."
