We've obtained video from prison security cameras showing a man who appears to be Tory getting knocked to the ground by another man -- allegedly Santino Casio. This other man jumps on top of him and brings his arm down on him multiple times.

00:00Well, the description of Tory Lane's prison stabbing was brutal.
00:05And so, as you might expect, the video is extremely intense.
00:12So we're going to give you a bit of a warning here.
00:14We have now obtained the video from inside the prison that shows how this all unfolded.
00:20And while the actual stabbing, you're not going to see anything gory here, but it is a fight.
00:26Behind that mirror, it's not the guy walking up.
00:29The two people behind the mirror, that's Tory and Santino Cascio, the other inmate.
00:36And what you're watching looks like punches.
00:38Tory's on the ground.
00:39But they're not punches.
00:40Guy's got a knife.
00:41Right.
00:42Tory's on the ground as this guy repeatedly stabs him.
00:45You can see him stab him in the back a few times.
00:47And he did suffer punctured lungs and then makes his escape down the staircase.
00:55Now, what's really shocking about this is making his escape, Tory had two collapsed lungs, among many other injuries.
01:02And I'm shocked that he was able to get up after that.
01:05Yes.
01:06So we also have a photo that shows the aftermath.
01:09And this is a real warning.
01:10Yes, a warning.
01:10This is really tough.
01:12This is him moments afterward.
01:16And he's still walking back to his cell, maybe, to get help from a guard.
01:22He, as we told you, was transferred to a hospital immediately.
01:27How was he standing?
01:28And was briefly on breathing apparatus while they treated his collapsed lung.
01:34What I find interesting is, see the two people in the mirror there?
01:38Yeah.
01:38They look like guards.
01:40They have uniforms on.
01:41Well, that would be shocking.
01:42And they have their backs turned.
01:43How do they, I don't understand how they didn't hear what's going on.
01:47Yeah.
01:48If they're guards, there is an internal investigation going on.
01:51Yeah.
01:52It's such an intense video, like, attack like that.
01:55You know, Tory's adrenaline is pumping.
01:57You know, two collapsed lungs, but, you know, he actually walked around.
02:00And we know that he's back on the mend.
02:02You know, he's back doing fine.
02:04But, you know, his adrenaline had to be pumping.
02:05He's been transferred to a different prison now.
02:06And also, what's really interesting is, too, the attacker, the inmate who attacked him, said it was self-defense.
02:12Yeah.
02:12Actually, Trent, we want to play some of this because we did an interview with Santino Cascio.
02:20And this was his explanation, at least, for why this incident went down.
02:25I heard some rumors that he was trying to put money on my head.
02:29He saw something comfortable living next to me.
02:32He said I was a threat.
02:33So I confronted him.
02:35He stood in front of myself and looked at his voice.
02:38No many lives lurked.
02:40And when he showed me what he had and took it in his pocket, I just rushed him.
02:45And I just snatched him.
02:48I just took advantage of him.
02:49He was weak.
02:50I threw him all over, and I just kept slamming him and stabbing him.
02:55I got to tell you something.
02:56By the way.
02:56That dog don't hunt.
02:58The idea of saying that I heard that he was upset with me.
03:03Well, that he had put a bounty on my head.
03:05Well, he put a bounty.
03:06But so what you do is you go up to him with a knife and confront him.
03:11Let me just explain self-defense.
03:12Self-defense is where you have to use deadly force because of an imminent threat of deadly force to yourself.
03:21I understand.
03:22And if he goes to the danger with a knife and confronts the guy, that ain't self-defense.
03:29I'm not saying I buy his self-defense argument.
03:31But just to be clear about what he was saying, yes, clearly he had a knife on him.
03:36It's when he saw what he believed to be a weapon in Tory's pocket that he decided to—I'm not saying I buy it, but that's what he said.
03:44But even if that's true, what I'm saying to you is that when you go to the danger zone with a knife confronting the guy, you're going to have a real hard time arguing self-defense.
03:57This guy, Cassio, was already serving a life sentence.
04:00Nothing to lose.
04:01But I think you're right.
04:03That if those were prison guards, there is an—
04:06Who clearly had their backs to walk away.
04:07Yeah, there is an internal investigation.
04:09Hi, I'm Danielle in Atlanta.
04:11And unfortunately, when you have high-profile people in jail, you never know who is going to come after you.
04:18We've seen incidents like this before.
04:21However, the guards, to me, picked their side by not stepping in and kind of eliminating this situation.
04:28Hopefully, Tory is able to keep his head up.
04:31And by the way, he's not in the—they're not in the same prison anymore.
04:34No, no.
