| Larry Nassar: Father lunges at disgraced US doctor | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| A father whose daughters were abused by disgraced US gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar has tried to attack him in a Michigan courtroom. | A father whose daughters were abused by disgraced US gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar has tried to attack him in a Michigan courtroom. |
| The man, named by US media as Randall Margraves, was restrained by three court security officers. | |
| Before rushing to the table where Nassar was sitting, the man had asked to have "five minutes in a locker room with that demon". | |
| Judge Janice Cunningham said she could not allow that. | |
| The dramatic intervention brought Nassar's final sentencing hearing to an abrupt halt. | |
| Mr Margraves' two daughters, Madison and Lauren, had just testified about their abuse at the hands of the doctor. | |
| The incident came as dozens of women waited for their turn to confront Nassar in court and outline the abuse they suffered at his hands. | |
| Nassar, a former US Olympic gymnastics team doctor, was sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison a week ago after testimony from nearly 160 of his victims. | |
| He was already serving 60 years in prison for possession of child sex abuse images. | |
| Earlier this week, Judge Cunningham said the number of known victims had grown to 265. | |
| "I want that son of a bitch!" Mr Margraves shouted as he was handcuffed. "What if this happened to you guys?" he said as he was escorted from the courtroom. |
