An inmate at the Rensselaer County Jail is accused of trying to kill a correctional officer.
Matthew Fluty attacked the officer, say investigators, taking away his two-way radio so he couldn’t call for help.
The sheriff says he strangled the officer until he passed out and left him in a housing unit.
Fluty is charged with attempted murder, assault, robbery and strangulation.
