The Owings Mills man was asked to leave after refusing to put his phone away several times, the outlet said citing the sheriff's office. When a female deputy asked him to "step out," he apparently hit her, according to footage from inside the court room.

Byrd then shoved her head into a marble wall, and pushed her to the floor outside the courtroom, WBALTV says. Byrd continued to fight other deputies who came over to help, leaving one with a knee injury and another with a head injury, the outlet said.

He was ultimately held without bond on charges of assault on police.

Byrd was being sought by Baltimore police last month for first-degree assault.
