A Clark County, Nevada judge and a marshal were injured on Wednesday afternoon after a defendant who was denied bond threw himself over the bench and attacked the judge, video shows.
FOX 5 in Las Vegas reported that the public information officer for the Clark County District Court said the incident happened as Judge Mary Kay Holthus was sentencing Deobra Redden.
The station said Redden was charged with attempted battery with substantial bodily harm.
