TEHACHAPI PRISON INVESTIGATES GUARD ATTACK

The California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi is investigating an inmate for attempted murder after a prison guard was stabbed in the shoulder, neck, and head and a cup of hot water was thrown at him.

The prison says Agustin Garcia and the guard were treated at the hospital after other guards and prisoners broke up the attack Tuesday morning.

Garcia is behind bars for the attempted murder of a peace officer in Kings County.
