CMC patients attack female worker
November 4, 2016
CORRECTION: The attack occurred at California Men’s Colony and not Atascadero State Hospital.
Two inmates attacked a female correctional officer at California Men’s Colony last week and beat the woman unconscious, inside sources say.
Early on the morning of Oct. 27., two inmates allegedly attacked the guard, knocked her unconsciousness and pulled chunks of her hair out, sources said. Another pair of inmates came to the assistance of the officer and stopped the beating. Other guards said, had the attack continued, the worker could have been killed.
The victim has reportedly been released from a nearby hospital but has yet to return to work. The extent of her injuries is unclear.
Charges have yet to be filed against the attackers.
