The Cheshire Correctional Institution was placed on lockdown early Thursday afternoon after an inmate stabbed a corrections officer in the neck, according to police. State police said an officer was escorting two inmates down a prison hallway around 11:50 a.m. when they became "verbally abusive." Other corrections officers noticed the commotion and rushed over to help. State correction officer and union president Moises Padilla said one of the responding officers "was savagely attacked and stabbed in the neck by an inmate." Padilla said the inmate stabbed a second officer who intervened. Department of Corrections spokeswoman Karen Martucci verified that a second corrections officer was injured during the encounter but didn't elaborate on the cause or extent of those injuries. Martucci said the facility was placed on lockdown while State Police Major Crime detectives responded to the scene to investigate "for external criminal charges." Both injured officers were taken to Waterbury Hospital’s emergency room for treatment, according to Padilla. Read More. |
