Comstock/Thinkstock(LOUISVILLE, Ky.) -- A suspect trying to escape from a Louisville, Ky., cell recently got quite a surprise when he pushed through a door.
The inmate, whose name has not been released, had attacked a deputy during a court hearing Monday at the Jefferson County Courthouse, according to ABC News affiliate WHAS-TV.
He was then put into a holding cell. When a deputy tried to remove another inmate from that cell, the suspect forced his way out.
He and the deputy then crashed through a door and into a courtroom that was in session. The suspect reportedly managed to get 20 feet from the deputy before court bailiffs seized him.
The county sheriff’s office said that nobody in the courtroom was in danger. The inmate is now charged with attempted escape and assault.
