A disturbing video posted to social media on Sunday shows the horrifying moment a prison gang beat a schizophrenic inmate unconscious with everything they could get their hands on - including an industrial broom and a microwave.
Video of the brutal beating, posted to Facebook by 'Derrick L. Transportation,' shows Jayshawn Boyd, 22, standing in a common area of the Essex County Correctional Facility on September 23 when a group of seven inmates in white start beating him.
Guards made no attempt to stop the horrific attack.
The assailants gather around Boyd and start punching him, as he falls to the ground.
At that point, one of the men could be seen holding an industrial broom, which he uses to hit Boyd with as the other inmates continue to punch him and stomp on him.
Soon, all of the inmates scatter, apparently trying to find other objects they could hit the victim with.

One man comes out of a supply closet with a bucket full of mop water that he dumps on Boyd, while another stomps on his head.
A shirtless inmate could then be seen grabbing a garbage can that he throws at Boyd, before turning and grabbing a microwave that he throws at him four times.
The device lands on Boyd's head.
Others soon join in, throwing whatever they can at the victim.
The two-minute long video ends with one of the inmates running up to Boyd, not moving on the ground, with blood splattered around him, and hitting him once again with the broom stick.
It remains unknown what started the attack.

'That's something we don't know at this point,' Michael Thomas Licciardi, an associate attorney for Brooke Barnett, who represents Boyd, told The New York Post on Monday.
