Two Ohio deputies suffered broken bones Monday when they were attacked by a suspect following a sentencing hearing.
The incident happened during a 1 p.m. hearing at the Columbiana County Courthouse in Lisbon, WFMJ-TV reports. Timothy Reaggle, 20, was being escorted out of a courtroom after he had been sentenced when he broke free of his handcuffs.
While trying to escape, Reaggle punched a Columbiana County sheriff's deputy in the throat and assaulted another deputy as he fled on foot. He was finally subdued with a Taser and taken into custody just as he was about to reach the courthouse doors.
Security camera footage captured the attack.
Sheriff Brian McLaughlin told WFMJ that the deputies were taken to the hospital for treatment and have been released. No details were given about the severity of the deputies' broken bones or if they suffered other injuries.
McLaughlin said Reaggle is expected to face assault on a police officer and felony escape charges. It's unclear what Reaggle was being sentenced for before the attack or the length of that sentence.
