ATTICA â A fake suicide attempt by an inmate last week resulted in injuries to at least four officers at Attica Correctional Facility.
An officer was delivering meals to inmates on May 5 in the Special Housing Unit, according to the New York State Correctional Officers & Police Benevolent Association. He came upon an inmate who said he was suicidal and had wrapped what was described as âan altered bed sheetâ around his neck.
More officers were alerted and arrived at the cell. The inmate was ordered to remove the sheet from his neck and complied.
He began making threats at staff and stating he wanted to fight them, according to NYSCOPBA.
