Inmate Attacks Prison Guard Douglas Burden Chokes Kenneth Moon At Orient Road Jail, Tampa, Florida,
Prisoners Save Guard From Inmate Attack
Shocking footage of an inmate strangling a guard at a Florida jail before other prisoners battled to save him has been released.
Surveillance cameras spotted Douglas Burden, 24, charging at 64-year-old Kenneth Moon in Orient Road Jail, Tampa.
Mr Moon was the sole guard in a prison block that houses 62 inmates, when Burden pounced, Central Florida News 13's website said.
The attacker quickly swung an arm around the jailer's neck, put the older man in a choke hold and started strangling him.
You would think that they would walk away, so somewhere in their hearts, there must be some goodness.
Prison guard Anthony Brown
Jerry Dieguez Jr, detained over an armed home invasion charge, was the first rescuer to reach Burden and hit him with a "haymaker" punch, according to Tampa Bay Online (TBO).
The blow sent all three men crashing to the ground.
Burden launches his attack
Two more inmates, an alleged killer and a man accused of drug trafficking, then helped prise Burden's arm off Mr Moon's throat, before another prisoner radioed for help.
Guards eventually restrained the attacker, who has been held since March 14 over driving and drug trafficking charges.
The prisoners who stopped Burden were credited with saving their jailer's life.
"Their past acts aside, you know, you've got to applaud them for what they did," Jim Previtera, of Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, told TBO.
Inmates help free Mr Moon
He said Mr Moon was in a martial arts-style choke hold that "cuts off the blood supply and, if it's applied properly, can actually crush the windpipe or the trachea".
The sheriff's office is to send letters to the rescuers' lawyers to be used in court on the inmates' behalf.
Prison guard Anthony Brown said: "You would think that they would walk away, so somewhere in their hearts, there must be some goodness."
Burden is facing a new charge of battery on a law enforcement officer, following Monday's attack.

NEPAL. Um pequeno país, cheio de contrastes e desafios, situado no coração do Himalaya. Desenhei uma rota desde a fronteira com a Índia ao Sul no nível do mar, até chegar ao topo das montanhas geladas ao Norte, no acampamento base do Machhapucchre. Uma aventura única e solitária por um caminho virgem. Normalmente o pessoal saí de bike do Tibet para o Nepal (descida). Mas, eu fiz o contrário,,, saí da Índia para o Norte do Nepal (subida). Foi muito bacana, mas, deve-se atentar para a falta de estrutura para turismo - uma vez que não é rota turística. Já o trekking para o Annapura é um clássico e existe tudo à disposição do turista - no estilo tea house.
Enjoy !!
