This is the moment a Michigan man accused of fatally shooting his wife in the chest was nearly attacked by the victim’s enraged son during a frenzied courtroom spectacle this week.

The surveillance video clip, obtained by MLive.com, shows London Thomas, son of victim Jamie Thomas-Flowers, bolting from his seat and hopping the barrier in an attempt to attack Vashon Flowers during his preliminary examination at Muskegon County District Court on Monday.

Thomas got within inches of Flowers — but was unable to lay a hand on him before he was promptly taken down by several law enforcement officers, the video shows.

He was arrested and appeared on Tuesday in court, where he was held in civil contempt of court and barred from any future proceedings in Judge Raymond Kostrzewa’s courtroom — including future hearings in Flowers’ case, Matt Roberts, chief trial attorney for the Muskegon County Prosecutor’s Office, told the outlet.

The incident occurred around 10:35 a.m. as court officials, attorneys and spectators waited for the proceedings to start, according to the report.

Deputies and officers cleared everyone from the courtroom as they tried to calm the frenzied scene. Flowers was also removed for his own safety, according to the report.

The preliminary exam continued afterward.

Flowers allegedly shot his wife inside their Muskegon Heights home around 6:30 a.m. May 19 following an argument that took place when the husband came home with cigarettes, according to Muskegon Heights police.

The couple had recently quit smoking, but Vashon arrived at the residence and said he wanted to smoke while drinking, cops said.

Vashon stormed out of the home and returned several hours later.

When the man came back, he kicked in the door and shot his wife four times in the chest before running away, according to police. He later surrendered to cops.

Flowers faces a charge of open murder, which covers first- and second-degree murder and manslaughter, according to MLive.

In addition to the murder charge, he was charged as a habitual offender due to prior felony convictions.
