I/M was returning from the recreation area in the JSU and would not return his rec equipment. The area Sergeant gave several direct orders to the I/M to return his equipment. The I/M disregarded the direct orders and struck the Sergeant in the face with a closed fist. The unit CO immediately responded to the assault and called for a response. It took multiple officers to apply mechanical restraints. The I/M was placed into a cell. The Sergeant and the unit officers went to the outside hospital.
