Luckily it wasn't in this District. It happened in the Eastern District of New York.
Above the Law has more details including the transcript of the proceeding and the actions of the court reporter, who jumped on the defendant.
When I was a PD, a colleague (who was a former cop) had a client rush the judge. The PD jumped on his back and pinned his arms behind his back as the Marshals watched. It was a pretty funny sight...

I commend the lawyer for preventing the attack, but did he really have to tell the press that his client was "going to slash [the prosecutor's] throat."
ReplyDeleteI don't think he was his client at that point...and yes, he did. Can you imagine the plea offers that guy will get for future clients!!!
