SHIRLEY (AP) - Seven prison guards are nursing injuries after a disturbance at the state's maximum security lockup in Shirley.
A spokeswoman for the state Department of Corrections said an inmate attacked a guard with some type of weapon on Monday.
Two other correction officers were hurt trying to restrain the prisoner, and other guards suffered injuries as they tried to move other inmates back into their cells following the incident.
The seven officers were taken to a hospital for treatment and the Souza Baranowski Correctional Center was placed in lockdown.
The incident remains under investigation.
