Video of a distraught father attacking a lawyer in what appears to be a case of retribution over a lost custody battle, has gone viral.

Neither the location of the confrontation nor the individuals involved have yet been verified by news sources, but the incident appears to have gone down within considerably close proximity to a courthouse. The lawyer is seen being approached by the angry man, who makes accusations against him, stating: "You took my kids my n***a, you did! Yea, you did," before swinging and landing fists to his face and body.

"And I got played n***a. I got played," the father is heard saying before the recipient of his blows falls to the ground. It is unclear whether the man who went on to gather himself back onto his feet had worked in defense of his attacker, or if he was the prosecutor. Minus a bruise or two, he appears to have walked away from the assault relatively unharmed.
