Corrections employee stabbed by inmates

The Nebraska Correctional Services Department says a
staffer was stabbed and kicked at the Tecumseh prison in southeast Nebraska.

The attack occurred a little after 6:30 p.m. Thursday when the staffer was
escorting a prisoner back to a cell. The department said in a news release
Friday that a wrong door was opened and a second inmate was able to use a
homemade weapon to stab the staffer. The first inmate kicked the staffer in the
head.

The department says three prison workers responded to stop the assault. The
injured staff member was taken to Johnson County Hospital. He received stitches
there and was released.

The department didn't provide the names of those involved.
