Inmate barges into court in escape bid

The scuffle sent shocked lawyers and defendants in the ongoing case running for cover.
However, one attorney appears to pile onto the escapee and helped cap­ture him.
Authorities say the man had already appeared in court earlier in the day and was being kept in a holding cell at the Jefferson County Courthouse in Louisville, WHAS-TV reported.
When a deputy tried to put another inmate in the cell, the man charged and knocked the sheriff’s officer out of the way. In his attempt to escape, the man crashed through a door and rushed into a courtroom.
The man immediately begins fight­ing with the sheriff’s deputy who was standing at the door.
After a few steps into the court­room, a crowd of deputies piled onto him and brought him under control as he shouted unintelligibly.
Authorities say no one in the court­house was in danger from the escape.
The man now faces charges of attempted escape and assaulting a police officer. — Kentucky News.
