Shocking footage shows prisoner repeatedly beaten and stabbed inside jail
Mobile phone footage has captured the moment an inmate at a Sydney jail was set up and bashed and stabbed by fellow detainees.
Prisoners repeatedly punched and stabbed the inmate inside the Parklea Correctional Centre in north-west Sydney on April 27.
NSW Police and prison staff were investigating the incident after footage of the attack was shared.
The vision lasted about one minute and began with a burly internee entering a small cell containing five other prisoners.
He was offered a handshake by one of the five while another man closed the door behind him.
Immediately after he accepted the handshake, the burly prisoner was punched in the face.
Four of the cell occupants then set upon the man, punching and shoving him around the small room while the fifth man filmed.
The large inmate's attempts to fight back were overpowered.
One of the inmates started stabbing him with a small item as he was bundled around the room.
Another inmate appeared to set upon the inmate with a different item before he was warned 'not with that' by the man behind the camera.
The men continued to attack the inmate while he screamed out in pain.
One of the cell gang smacked him twice over the back with a metallic object, spurring laughter from the cameraman while the inmate writhed on the floor.
The video ended as the cameraman called and pulled the men from their rival, telling them: 'He's good like that.'
The man was left bloodied and cowering on the cell floor with his hands over his head.
MTC, the private company that currently operates Parklea, said two inmates had been placed in segregation following the incident.
A spokeswoman said all those involved had been identified.
'On Sunday, April 27 2025 Parklea Correctional Centre staff responded to a group assault of an offender,' the spokeswoman said.
'They have since received intelligence the assault was filmed on an illegal mobile phone and have identified the inmates of interest.
'The assaulted inmate was provided with medical treatment and there were no injuries to Parklea staff.'
Police have yet to lay any charges in relation to the incident.

Moment thugs use huge STICKS & baseball bats as weapons as brawl erupts on busy high street in broad daylight
THIS is the moment a brawl between thugs armed with sticks broke out in the middle of a busy road. At least five men were involved in the attack which took place on Station Road in Harrow, London. 3 3 Shocking footage shows the men punching and hitting each other with lumps of wood. Standing on the island of a busy crossing in front of rows of shops, the men push each other into the road, blocking a bus. In the intense video two men dressed in tracksuits can be seen getting into a punch up with three other hooded thugs as they attacked each other with bats. One man was being rugby tackled to the ground when a police van showed up and the thugs reportedly ran away. Footage begins as the men are already involved in the fight, wielding large sticks as they repeatedly hit one another. As the fighting continues the group breaks up as footage clearly shows two of the boys getting into a fist fight. Meanwhile, the three remaining boys get in the way of a police van as they are pushed into the road. Despite one of the boys having been knocked to the ground, they quickly get their footing and run away from the police. As soon as the two boys still fighting notice the police car, they also quickly run away. The three boys run in the same direction, while the other two disperse in the opposite direction. Locals responded to the incident with concern for Harrow's youth population. One said: 'What happened to youth clubs?' While another added: ' Harrow used to be okay. 'Never realised you can now watch amateur UFC uncaged there. 'Great idea for getting youths off the streets, causing trouble.' A third person said: 'Those two lads just standing there punching each other and then both stopping at the same time to run once the police arrived was hilarious to see.' Some used the opportunity to express disappointment at their poor fighting technique. Others didn't express much concern at all, as one said: 'Hate to say it but the two lads at the end were having a good scrap, no harm in it I suppose.' None of the boys seemed particularly affected by the fight. The Sun has approached the Metropolitan Police for comment.

Bombshell career news for troubled footy star who checked himself into a mental health facility after beating domestic violence allegations
Wests Tigers CEO Shane Richardson believes Taylan May 'deserves a second chance' in the NRL, after signing the outside back on a train-and-trial deal. The Tigers on Tuesday formally won the race for May's signature, with the Samoan international agreeing to a deal for the rest of this season. The contract is May's first since he was released from Penrith last season, after the Panthers attempted to rip up his contract following a number of off-field indiscretions. The 23-year-old also had domestic violence charges against him dropped in March, after his wife who had accused him of punching did not show up in court. May had pleaded not guilty to the charges and has since spent time in a mental health facility undergoing treatment. The former Panther will not be able to immediately return to the field, with the NRL only conditionally approving his comeback. In a statement on Tuesday, the Tigers said training and off-field standards needed to be met before May could play again. 'Taylan, like all our players, will be joining a club which has a culture of putting healthy relationships first,' CEO Shane Richardson said. 'Taylan has made enormous strides since we first met with him 10 weeks ago through voluntarily attending education and counselling sessions. 'All players deserve a second chance and we think this is the environment which gives him the best chance of success both on and off the field.' May's move to the Tigers came after he had met with South Sydney coach Wayne Bennett and toured the club's Heffron Park facilities. But the Tigers signing will allow him to play alongside his brother Terrell, with the duo and older brother Tyrone May all keen to one day play together. 'Clearly, Taylan is a quality player who will further strengthen our squad in the back end of the competition,' Richardson said. 'But we also believe his best chance of success on and off the field is if he is around family and friends. 'He will now have the chance to not only return to a team environment but also to play alongside his brother Terrell – which is important to him.'

Pregnant cop who had clumps of hair ripped from her scalp by a notorious anti-vaxxer breaks her silence
A female police officer who had hair torn from her scalp by an anti-vaxxer while she was 10 weeks pregnant has broken her silence over the horrific attack. South Australian Senior Constable Anthea Beck told 9News how Raina Cruise attacked without warning outside the Exeter Hotel in October 2021. 'She just reached out, knocked the hat off my head, grabbed a handful of hair and just dropped to the ground,' she said. Cruise, who describes herself as a naturopath and homeopath, had earlier assaulted two security guards at the pub on Adelaide 's Rundle Street. The mother-of-four was heavily intoxicated and had attended a freedom rally earlier in the day but was booted from the venue over a row about mask mandates. She admitted to grabbing one security guard by the windpipe and punching him in the throat. She punched the other security guard around the head. Cruise and two men she left the pub with were stopped by Beck and another police officer tasked with investigating the assaults on the security guards. Prosecutors said Cruise compared the police to Nazi Germany before she 'latched onto Constable Beck' and dragged her to the ground. The entire incident was captured on officers' bodycam footage. A court was told Cruise yanked at Constable Beck's hair and smashed the cop's head on the pavement as she yelled: 'I will smash you one-on-one, b***h.' Beck initially worried the the attack might have impacted her unborn child. The anti-vax mum-of-four initially avoided jail and was given a two-year suspended sentence after she was found guilty of the assault. The Police Association asked the attorney-general to appeal and earlier this month Cruise was re-sentenced and handed three years and nine months behind bars. 'The suspended sentence was not in line with societal expectations of what happens when you assault police,' Beck said. Beck said she felt 'relief and satisfaction' knowing Cruise was behind bars and said it sent a message to the community 'that if you assault an emergency worker, that you can expect a custodial sentence'. She described her job as a policewoman as an 'an ongoing journey'. 'Being a police officer obviously has its ups and downs, and this is just a down of (an) otherwise very fulfilling career,' she said.
