A violent MS-13 gang member allegedly beat up a fellow inmate at a New York prison in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, while prison staff watched the attack.

Rafael Lopez, the victim of the alleged brutal beating, said that his ribs were broken and his kidney lacerated when the inmate clubbed him with a sock full of padlocks, according to a Brooklyn federal lawsuit obtained by the New York Daily News.
