The incident reportedly occurred last Saturday at the Cumberland County prison, officials told Penn Live.

A co-worker of the injured guards shared a photo on Facebook of bloody finger and said the assault occurred in the prison's "pill line," which forms when inmates line up to receive medications.
While prison did not release details about the guards' injuries, a Pennsylvania State Police spokeswoman reportedly confirmed that one of them had the tip of his finger bitten off.
None of the identities of those involved were released.
The incident remains under investigation by state police.
