US marshals cleared a courtroom after a Capitol rioter started a brawl with federal agents, reports say.
Vitali GossJankowski let out "guttural screams" while resisting agents, CBS News' Scott MacFarlane reported.
GossJankowski was ordered to go to jail while awaiting sentencing earlier this month.

A convicted Capitol rioter got into a fight with federal agents and security officials at a court appearance on Monday, prompting US marshals to clear the courtroom and rush the judge out, according to reporters who were in the courtroom.

Vitali GossJankowski, 34, was convicted of multiple felonies in March in connection to his actions during the deadly January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
