Green Haven Correctional Facility remained on lockdown this evening after an inmate assaulted a correction officer Saturday, according to state officials. Acting Commissioner Anthony Annucci ordered the lockdown after a correction officer was struck in the face by an inmate, Thomas Mailey, spokesman for the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, said in a written statement. Mailey said the assault was an "isolated Incident" and confirmed the prison was still on lockdown Saturday night as authorities search for contraband. The inmate was subdued by several correction officers, Mailey said. The officer who was struck by the inmate was treated and released at a local hospital, and did not return to work, he said. Mailey did not specify the hospital at which the correction officer was treated. During the assault, the inmate brandished a weapon similar to an ice pick, according to Mike Mazzella, mid-Hudson regional vice president of the New York State Correctional Officers & Police Benevolent Association.
