A convicted felon brutally beat a fellow inmate during a court hearing in Las Vegas, leaving the judge visibly unfazed by the attack.
18-year-old Dustin Langham, who had just pleaded guilty last year to biting the hand of a correctional officer, was seen launching an aggressive attack in Clark County District Court Judge Bita Yeager's courtroom last Thursday .
Sitting on a bench among other inmates, Langham suddenly and violently attacked fellow inmate Berdon Bridge, hitting him repeatedly.
As correctional officers intervened, separated the two inmates and handcuffed Langham, Judge Yeager slowly raised her head and arms, showing a composed response to the violent incident.
Thursday's incident was captured by court cameras from multiple angles and later obtained by 8newsnow.

The 18-year-old offender had already been involved in bodily harm before the assault seen on camera.
Clark County District Court Judge Joe Hardy sentenced Langham to probation in September 2023 for multiple counts of assault on a prisoner, records show.
That's when he bit a correctional officer at the Clark County Detention Center and threw a rock at another. He had pleaded guilty to the charge.
Langham was also charged with aggravated assault in 2022 and later found guilty, according to court documents reviewed by the Post.
Bridge pleaded guilty to one count of attempted possession or possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. He was sentenced to a prison sentence of one to four years.
According to 8newsnow, no new charges have been filed against Langham in connection with the February 1 courtroom attack.
A man in Las Vegas lunged at a suspect accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a teenager outside a courtroom
Glenn Cromwell Jr. was arrested and charged with assault after lunging at 59-year-old Yousuf Azami, who was charged with kidnapping and sexually assaulting a teenager in the same building
Last week's chaos was just one of the latest instances of violence at the Regional Justice Center in recent months.
Glenn Cromwell Jr. was arrested and charged with assault after lunging at 59-year-old Yousuf Azami, who was charged with kidnapping and sexually assaulting a teenager in the same building.
In video of the Jan. 23 incident, Azami can be seen standing up and walking down the courtroom corridor before Cromwell stands up and follows him.
Cromwell, dressed in a gray tracksuit, briefly stops next to the suspect before punching Azami in the face.
He then repeatedly punches the suspect as he falls to the ground before others, including a police officer, rush in to disperse him.
The couple were then separated and Cromwell was arrested and charged with assault.
Azami, an Afghan-born actor, is accused of sexually assaulting a young girl who told police she got into his car before he drove her to his home and raped her.
The young girl, who was 14 or 15 at the time of the alleged attack, told police she was looking for “something to smoke and eat” when she saw Azami in the parking lot of a marijuana dispensary.
This came after 30-year-old Deobra Redden attacked Clark County District Judge Mary Kay Holthus in the same courthouse on January 3rd
Deobra Redden, 30, who faced Clark County District Judge Mary Kay Holthus, appeared in court again wearing a spit cover
Weeks before the two violent attacks, 30-year-old Deobra Redden attacked Clark County District Judge Mary Kay Holthus in the same courthouse on Jan. 3.
He said, “No, fuck that bitch,” as he pounced on her after she rejected his pleas for more probation. He also attacked the bailiff, who then needed 25 stabs.
Redden later appeared in court to continue his sentencing. Wearing shackles, a spit mask on his face and orange gloves on his hands, he was sentenced to 19 to 48 months in prison on an assault charge.
He was subsequently charged with attempted murder for lunging at Holthus. The charge was aggravated due to the victim's age, as Holthus is over 60 years old.
