The guard attacked with the pen shortly before 7 p.m. Tuesday night suffered puncture wounds to the face and a dislocated shoulder, prison spokeswoman Shari Hall said.

The guard, whose name has not been released, was attacked by 28-year-old Marcus Van Cleary, who was being held in a close custody unit for mentally ill inmates at the Walla Walla prison, the Department of Corrections said.

The guard, as well as the two who tried to help and suffered minor injuries, were treated and released from a hospital.
