Four helpless inmates shackled to a table were brutally attacked by a fellow prisoner serving life for murder at one of Ohio's most notorious maximum-security prisons.

Surveillance footage inside the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville, Scioto County captured the horrific attack which sees blood spurting on to the prison walls. 

Shamieke Pugh, who was one of the four inmates attacked on June 4, 2017, has now served his four-year sentence for burglary and believes the prison guards helped to orchestrate the attack.

His theory, however, is vehemently denied by the prison system and the guards' union.

'He was trying to kill us for sure,' said Pugh, who is now out of prison and still recovering from stab wounds in his arm, chest and back 18 months after the attack.

Pugh and three other inmates had been playing a game of cards during recreation outside of their cells, when convicted murderer Greg Reinke - shackled only by his feet - suddenly springs up from the table behind them.

Clasping a homemade seven-inch shiv, Reinke unleashes a frenzied assault on the quartet stabbing each of them multiple times as they remain handcuffed to a table, unable to defend themselves.

Eventually, one of the victims is able to break free and fight back.

The attack continues for just under a minute before a guard emerges at the top of the hallway and begins charging towards Reinke.

Three minutes after the assault, the severely injured inmates are finally unshackled from the table, leaving behind a bloody scene.
