A prison warder and a police officer were injured at the Village Magistrate Court yesterday after defendants attempted to escape and assault journalists.

The commotion started when a prison warder and plain clothes officer attempted to stop one Joseph Gaie, after he left the dock and walked out of the courtroom while spewing insults and threats.

"Stop talking to these people and let us go man, today I am going to kill a person," said Gaie as he walked out of the courtroom.

The security agents managed to put leg irons on him and his co-accused Golwelwang Efedile. The duo then walked out of the court building and started throwing bottles and stones at photojournalists.
