Deobra Redden, 30, was being sentenced after he was convicted of attempted battery with substantial bodily harm by Judge Mary Kay Holthus.
A terrifying video shows a man jumping over the bench and attacking a female judge for denying him probation at his sentencing on Wednesday, January 3.
The incident took place when Judge Mary Kay Holthus was sentencing Deobra Redden, 30, in Clark County District Court in Las Vegas.
Redden was being sentenced after he was convicted of attempted battery with substantial bodily harm, according to KLAS.
Redden’s attorney reportedly urged Holthus to sentence his client to probation.
However, Holthus said, “I think it’s time he got a taste of something else because I just can’t with that history.”
Redden is then seen approaching the bench and leaping over it, attacking Holthus.
Several court officials are seen trying to drag Redden away from the judge as he yelled profanities.
Holthus suffered a minor injury to the head and a marshal was also wounded in the fracas.
