4 deputies injured in Men’s Central Jail attack, ‘jail made weapon’ recovered
Deputies who were allegedly attacked by several inmates at the Men’s Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles are recovering from their injuries Monday, and the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the assault.
Authorities say several inmates attacked a deputy while moving through the downtown lockup on Sunday.
The alleged assault occurred about 12:15 p.m. at the jail on the 400 block of Bauchet Street, according to LASD officials.
The deputies stopped the attack, and the involved inmates were detained. A deputy suffered a puncture-type injury and was taken, along with three others, to a hospital where they were treated and released, officials said. The inmates involved in the assault were also medically evaluated and remained in custody.
A “jail-made weapon” was recovered at the scene, officials said.
The assault was under investigation by the sheriff’s Homicide Bureau, because the deputies were injured and there was a use of force, officials said.
