The father of a young murder victim who was stabbed to death in December 2020 decided to take matters into his own hands and viciously sucker-punched the suspect in an Ohio courtroom.
Reports revealed that 22-year-old Desean Brown, is facing murder charges after he allegedly stabbed 29-year-old Nyteisha Lattimore to death and threw her three-year-old son Nylo, into the Ohio River.
Once the fight broke out, it took two sheriff's deputies to pull Mr Hughes off of Mr Brown.
According to investigators, Mr Brown stabbed Ms Lattimore in December 2020 after planning her murder for months.
He allegedly waited several days after killing her before putting her in a body bag and taking an Uber to the Ohio River, telling the driver that the bag contained clothes.
Lattimore's body was found near the Purple People Bridge on December 12, 2020, newspaper reports said.
The Cincinnati Inquirer reported that police found Nylo's blood on a Paw Patrol blanket near his mother's body and a stroller nearby.
If convicted, Mr Brown could face the death penalty for his crimes.
Mr Hughes was hit with a contempt of court charge and was to be jailed for seven days, but has been released early.
