Guards Injured in Rikers Fight

Published: 03/29/2010

Rikers guards and inmates last night rumbled in a wild brawl triggered by some prisoners’ refusal to go back in their cells.

Corrections Department spokesman Stephen Morello said two captains were among 13 correction officers injured when they went up against 20 out-of-control inmates.

The fight began at 11 p.m. — lights out at the jailhouse.

"A few inmates were encouraging others not to lock in," he said. "So we sent a response team to maintain order and get inmates locked in."

But when the team of guards arrived, the almost two dozen obstinate inmates pounced — still seething over a search of some of their cells earlier in the day, a law-enforcement source told The Post.

A short and furious fight ensued at the George R. Vierno Center, where inmates are held while awaiting trial, the source said.

"This was not a prolonged, prolonged battle," this source said. "Officers used defense holds and used defensive spray to get them handcuffed and back into their cells."
