Attack at MCCI sends 3 corrections officers to hospital

Posted via APP.com:

In a disturbing story from the APP, a Monmouth County Correctional Institution inmate attacked three corrections officers coming to his cell to fix a light. He stabbed them with sharpened metal from a light fixture. He was charged with attempted murder and possession of a weapon, among other things.

From the report:

Anthony E. Montgomery, 38, stabbed one officer in the face two times with a homemade shank, said Peter E. Warshaw Jr., first assistant Monmouth County prosecutor.

Montgomery then fought with two other officers who also suffered injuries before subduing the inmate, Warshaw said. All three officers were treated and released from Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune.

Montgomery, of Marsha Drive in Neptune, earlier this year was indicted in connection with an attack on a corrections officer. He was in jail because, wearing makeup and a wig, he led an officer on a high-speed chase last year, according to police.
