By

An inmate at a Wisconsin jail knocked out a female guard with one punch, and it was caught by surveillance cameras. The March 27 fight erupted as three corrections officers gathered lunch trays and another entered the room, the Huffington Post reported.

The puncher, who was identified by the Marathon County Sheriff's Department as Fredrick Morris, is seen in the footage adopting a fighting stance, and then knocking out Officer Julie Christensen with a right hand to the face, the Huffington Post reported.

Christensen was knocked unconscious by Morris' punch and was taken to intensive care and remained hospitalized as of Thursday, the Wisconsin Public Radio reported.

Morris was charged with several counts of battery, according to a criminal complaint., and was transferred to a facility in Lincoln County, Wisconsin, the Marathon County Courthouse told The Huffington Post on Friday.

After the attack, safety conditions at the Marathon County jail were evaluated by a civilian panel earlier this week, CBS local affiliate WSAW reported.
