Inmates at Pinal County Sheriff’s Adult Detention Center, located in Arizona, planned an attack on an officer who was making routine security checks on July 31, Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said in a press release. Despite suffering a broken nose and broken ankle, the injured officer was able to take down and subdue one of his attackers, according to Babeau.

The inmates were identified as Ismael Martinez, 32, and Fabian Mendivil, 35, according to a statement by the sheriff’s office.

Both inmates followed the officer after he stepped into a common recreation area of the cell block, and continually punched him in the face and body, reported Tucson News Now.

The officer fought back while an assisting officer used a rubber-coated data collection wand to ward off the attackers, Babeu said in a statement. The assisting officer suffered injuries to his hands and wrists, the statement said.
