Hassan Yehia Chokr, 35, was in Wayne County Circuit Court for an emergency bond hearing, where he appeared through a video feed before Judge Regina Thomas. The Wayne County case involves several assault changes, as well as resisting a Dearborn police officer.

Chokr was on mute when he pulled down his pants and showed his back side to the video camera. Thomas cut out the feed and revoked his bail in the Wayne County case.

Chokr is in Oakland County Jail, accused of antisemitic behavior outside of Temple Beth El on Friday. On Monday, Chokr acted out against the 48th District Court in Bloomfield Township during his arraignment. Appearing via video, he gave the judge the middle finger and shouted.

His bond was set at $1 million in the case for which he is charged with two counts of ethnic intimidation. Jail records indicated he remained behind bars Tuesday night.
