<p>The footage shows the unsuspecting prison officer walking through Falkenburg Road Jail in Tampa, Florida. It starts off showing the inmates sitting around and socializing the prison wing’s common area, the then assailant walks into the shot.<br />
Holding a towel, he calmly approaches the 31-year-old guard from behind, throwing it around the officer’s neck. But as he yanks the towel back, Hernandez is able to twist his way out of the choke hold and escape the strangler’s grip.<br />
There were 72 other inmates in the room at the time – many of whom sprung into action to help the embattled guard. Eventually, with the help of several of the inmates, the deputy is able to subdue Zachary who is in prison for burglary, until help arrives.</p>

“This incident highlights the extreme danger the men and women working at the Hillsborough County Department of Detention Services face every day.<br />
