An inmate in San Bernardino County jail tried to stab another inmate and a sheriff's deputy with a knife he made while incarcerated, authorities announced Friday. On Tuesday at about 2:45 p.m., Christopher Lommie Jackson tried to stab a 28-year-old inmate with a jail-made metal knife at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga, according to a Sheriff's Department news release.
Video footage provided by the Sheriff's Department shows a man identified as Jackson lunging toward the deputy with a knife in his hand and pulling the deputy to the ground, where the two get into a struggle until they're separated by other deputies. The deputy, whose identity hasn't been disclosed, was hospitalized for moderate injuries to his face and released, authorities said. It's unclear if the other inmate was injured in the alleged attack.
