Officials
say two police officers in Passaic County were injured trying to subdue a
prisoner who tried to escape.
The
prisoner was at St. Joseph's Hospital & Medical Center.
According to officials, officers were taking off the
prisoner’s handcuffs and shackles so
he could go to the bathroom when he tried to break out of the room.

the man back into custody. They were treated at the hospital.
Additional
charges are pending.
