The assault took place in Bridgeport on Wednesday, Aug. 2 when the prisoners grabbed the officer as she conducted routine duties. During the attack, the guard was pushed into a metal storage bin and struck repeatedly, said Ashley McCarthy, director of External Affairs for the Connecticut Department of Corrections. The guard required treatment at a local hospital and is currently at home recovering from her injuries, McCarthy added. "We are deeply troubled a person in our custody injured one of our officers," McCarthy said.
