Around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, one inmate hit the 39 year old officer leading others to jump in as well, knocking the officer unconscious. The correction officer is now recovering from a spinal fracture and bleeding in his brain in the hospital. The surveillance cameras inside the prison show the officer being sucker punched by one inmate, then five others follow behind beating him to the floor.
In the hospital, the officer was not able to talk, his head was extremely swollen, and he had a brace on his neck. According to authorities, this may have been a planned gang attack. Four inmates were charged in connection to the assault on the following Sunday. They are expected to be arraigned Monday.
