The violence unfolded in Clark County District Court yesterday after Judge Mary Kay Holthus denied probation to Redden, 30, in a felony assault case and was preparing to hand down a prison sentence.
Moments before the attack, Redden had asked the court for leniency, saying he did not deserve jail time.
Video shows Redden jumping head first over the judge’s bench as she attempted to scramble out of the way. Two men and a uniformed court officer tackled and punched Redden, as he yelled expletives and hurled punches before being dragged away.

A courtroom marshal was hospitalised after suffering non-life-threatening injuries, the Review-Journal reported.
Court officials and lawyers involved in the case were not immediately available for comment.
