YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — Video has surfaced of an inmate attack on a Mahoning County Jail nurse.

WKBN reports that Deron Wiliams, 32, who is booked on a felonious assault charge, is shown in the video attacking Joyce O’Hara.

O’Hara was delivering medications at the time of the attack. She was taken to a local hospital and treated for cuts and a back injury.

Officers quickly responded to the scene, according to WFMJ.

“Under two minutes, or around two minutes response time of the other deputies to get up there,” said Sheriff Jerry Greene. “So we are happy with how the officer worked the pod [and] handled the situation.”

Williams is now sitting in an isolation unit and his charges will be presented to the Mahoning County Grand Jury as early as next week.
