A man is suing Hamilton County and the local jail over an alleged gang-related stabbing, according to a federal lawsuit.

Rondale Wade was extradited from Yazoo City, Mississippi, to the Hamilton County Jail for pending state charges, the lawsuit filed Thursday said.

On July 24, he returned to his cell with a food tray and four or five inmates entered without warning or provocation, the lawsuit said.

They allegedly started brutally assaulting him and beating him severely.
