CAMP HILL, Pa. — An inmate assaulted two corrections officers after becoming angry about a blown electrical fuse.

When the officer got back up, Liggins punched him again and broke his nose. Another CO came to help the officer and was also struck in the face, Fox 43 reported. He suffered broken orbital, cheek and skull bones.
