Authorities in Florida have released surveillance camera footage of a brutal attack on a jail guard by an inmate at the Orient Road Jail in Tampa.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said detention deputy Kenneth Moon escaped serious injury in the attack, which took place on October 2,
because other inmates came to his aid.
The sheriff's office says the 64-year-old Moon was working at his desk in a jail pod when inmate Douglas Emanuel Burden charged him, put him in a chokehold and began strangling him.
Other inmates rushed to Moon's aid, and one grabbed his radio and called for help.
Twenty-four-year-old Burden was in jail in drug charges.
