Here are some links that address "Springer Rage". I have heard about it and read about it, but I have NEVER experienced it in any of my Springers. It is rare, and is believed by many to be seizure-related. But... there's still al lot of debate out there about the syndrome, so I'd advise reading from several sources.
And keep in mind, any dog can bite under some circumstances. Don't fear that all Springers are crazy.
