The New York Attorney General has released disturbing footage of correction officers brutally assaulting prisoner Robert Brooks, who died following the attack.

Brooks, 43, died on Dec. 10 after the ruthless group-beating at Marcy Correctional Facility in Oneida County, New York, which was captured in body camera footage released Friday. The videos, which lack audio due to the officers' failure to activate their cameras, depict Brooks, who was handcuffed, being repeatedly punched in the face and groin while sitting on a medical table.
