Officers observed I/M standing near the visit room entrance, yelling loudly, demanding to speak to a sergeant. Officers gave the I/M direct orders to stop yelling in the visit room and that a sergeant would be notified. The I/M yelled at the officers and told them “FU” as the order of the visit room was disturbed by his yelling. Officers gave the I/M a direct order to leave the visit room area and go to the frisk room area. The I/M yelled at the Officers again stating “Fuck you, get away from me!!”  and punched several officers in the face and body. Force was used to gain compliance of a combative I/M. restraints were applied and the I/M was escorted to medical. Officers sustained several injuries during the incident. Two went to outside hospital for treatment.
