VERNON, Ind. — Three teenage inmates in a southern Indiana jail attacked three guards and briefly held them hostage early Tuesday during an escape attempt that left one guard hospitalized with a stab wound to the head, authorities said.

The inmates at the Jennings County Jail managed to stab the guards — one of them four times — around 12:30 a.m. before police officers shocked the inmates with stun guns and took them into custody, according to the Jennings County Sheriff’s Department.

Deputy Jerry Shepherd told The Republic of Columbus that the inmates used sharpened clothes hangers in the attack. Guards Vickie Day and Shawn McDaniels were treated and released at a local hospital, the newspaper reported, while guard Walter Peace was in stable condition after being flown to an Indianapolis hospital with a stab wound to the head.
