In a shocking turn of events, a convicted Capitol rioter created chaos and violence during a court appearance on Monday, leading to the clearance of the courtroom and the immediate removal of the judge, as reported by Business Insider. Vitali GossJankowski, 34, who had previously been found guilty of multiple felonies related to the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, became embroiled in a brawl with federal agents and security officials while they attempted to handcuff him.

The incident occurred when federal officials requested that GossJankowski's release be revoked, citing his alleged involvement in sending threatening messages to a law enforcement officer who testified against him. US District Judge Paul Friedman scheduled a hearing to address this matter and ordered GossJankowski to be detained pending sentencing.

However, chaos ensued when GossJankowski vehemently refused to surrender and resisted the agents' efforts to handcuff him, as detailed by CBS News' Scott MacFarlane. MacFarlane's report described the intense confrontation, recounting how the courtroom had to be cleared as GossJankowski emitted "guttural screams" while battling against the agents. Witnesses witnessed a computer being knocked off a defense table during the altercation.

Additional reports from WUSA's Jordan Fischer revealed that it took more than half a dozen US Marshals, FBI agents, and CSOs to forcibly arrest GossJankowski, who demonstrated considerable strength during the altercation.

The disturbance in the courtroom prompted US marshals to swiftly clear the area while GossJankowski's violent resistance continued. Fortunately, Judge Friedman had already exited the premises, avoiding any direct involvement in the chaotic scene.

At the time of writing, there has been no official comment from GossJankowski's legal representation regarding the incident. A courtroom deputy has confirmed that a disturbance indeed occurred during GossJankowski's scheduled hearing.

The violent confrontation serves as a stark reminder of the lingering tensions and divisions stemming from the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. The incident underscores the challenges faced by law enforcement officials in dealing with the aftermath of the riot and the legal proceedings that continue to unfold.

As the case of Vitali GossJankowski progresses, there will likely be a heightened focus on the security measures necessary to ensure the safety of all involved parties during court proceedings related to the Capitol attack.
