A father of three of the survivors of former USA Gymnastic and Michigan State doctor Larry Nassar lunged across the courtroom at the disgraced doctor Friday morning during Nassar’s sentencing for child molestation charges in Charlotte, Mich.

After his daughters made statements in court, Randall Margraves asked to speak to Nassar alone before he lunged at the former doctor and was then apprehended by officials.

“I would ask you to as part of the sentencing to grant me 5 minutes in a locked room with this demon,” the man said before the judge cautioned Margraves that his request was not appropriate.

The entire scene which contains some profanity can be watched below:
