HAMILTON, Pa. -- A 43-year-old Hudson County man on the verge of regaining his freedom ended up right back behind bars on Sunday.

Sirbio A. Sanchez of Union City allegedly punched two corrections officers as he was being released from Monroe County Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania, according to a report on PoconoRecord.com.

He then resisted as the guards tried to restrain him, Pennsylvania State Police told MCall.com.

Sanchez was charged with aggravated assault, aggravated assault of a correctional officer, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and resisting arrest.

Both officers suffered minor injuries, the reports said.

It's not clear why Sanchez was in jail to begin with.
