During the yard run, I/M’s were seen horse playing in the weight shack. Officers removed the I/M’s w/o incident. They were directed to place their hands on the wall for a pat frisk. During the pat frisk an I/M turned from the wall and punched an Officer in the face. He was taken to the ground using body holds. While this was taking place another I/M turned and punched another Officer. That I/M was also taken to the ground utilizing body holds. The response team arrived to assist the Officers who were struggling with the I/M’s on the ground and another one of the Officers was kicked in the face during the struggle. Both I/M’s were restrained using mechanical restraints. Staff suffered from swelling and abrasions to the face. All staff remained on duty.
