Shocking video footage has emerged showing a prisoner having his ear cut off in a ‘Reservoir Dogs’ style attack.
Mobile phone footage shows the inmate being tortured with a knife before having his ear cut off.
The victim was straddled by a much smaller man armed with a knife during the attack.
At one point, the attacker calls the victim a “little faggot” before slashing his face and then repeatedly stabbing the back of his neck with a knife.
During the final moments of the clip, the victim’s ear appears to be severed, as he screams in pain.

His legs and feet can be seen writhing on the ground as the agonizing attack continues.
The incident, which occurred just a few weeks ago, was witnessed by a group of prisoners, one of whom filmed the incident with a mobile phone.
A source told MailOnline: “It reminded me a bit of Reservoir Dogs, except this was real life. This is what happens in prison.”
Shock director Quentin Tarantino’s debut film, Reservoir Dogs, was associated with a gruesome scene in which a gangster cuts off a police officer’s ear.
The source told MailOnline that the victim had agreed to a fixed fight at the high-security prison when the attack occurred.
The ear-slicing scene evoked memories of Reservoir Dogs, when Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen) attacked a police officer who was tied up.
However, a known criminal is said to have offered money to have the victim attacked with a knife.
The victim was then lured to a secluded area of the prison to fight, where he was attacked with the prison spatula.
Prison bosses confirmed the brutal knife attack happened last month but declined to say where the incident took place.
Powerful criminals often pay money to gangs to carry out attacks against individuals who have annoyed them.

The so-called ‘coups’ mainly refer to disputes within the drug economy, but can also relate to other issues.
In some cases, criminals will specify the amount of money they have to offer and what injuries they want the victim to suffer.
The most common punishment is to cut off the victim’s face, although sometimes the contract is to blind him in one eye.
Attackers often use a homemade knife, which is usually made from razor blades and plastic. The blades are melted into the plastic using a flame.
Other punishments include throwing substances such as acid or hot sugary water in the victim’s face, known as “swiling.”
Gang members are often the ones who carry out the most serious violent contracts, but sometimes drug addicts agree to do the jobs.
Former Conservative Justice Secretary Sir Robert Buckland told MailOnline: ‘Access to knives and other items such as razors that can be turned into weapons must be more strictly controlled in prisons.
“I lobbied for a ban on knives and was pleased to see that my successor, Alex Chalk, had achieved this. Prisoners should not have access to sharp instruments of any kind.
“While I have done everything I can to increase funding for prisons, every step must be taken to increase security, which includes in large part banning items that can be turned into weapons. It is happening with razors and now it must happen in prison kitchens as well.”
This comes after around 1,700 prisoners were recently released early as part of a controversial government move to ease overcrowding.

A person believed to be a prisoner hides his face as he leaves HMP Liverpool prison as 1,700 prisoners were released early under a government scheme to ease overcrowding.
The government has said offenders serving sentences for serious violent crimes carrying sentences of four years or more and sex offenders have been excluded from the early release scheme.
There are reports that hundreds of prisoners released after serving only 40% of their sentences were not equipped with electronic tags.
The Justice Ministry has refused to say how many of those released without badges have a history of violence against women and girls. The Justice Ministry said the government was holding security firm Serco accountable.
Criminals recently released early from Manchester’s notorious Strangeways prison recently told how drug gangs controlled the wards.
Burglar Karl Wilson, who left HMP Manchester as part of government efforts to reduce overcrowding, said drug addicts knew they would be stabbed if they could not pay a drug debt.
He said staff refused to help inmates who owed money to drug gangs.
In July, Lord Chancellor Shabana Mahmood spoke of a prison system on the brink of “collapse” and linked rising violence to overcrowding.
A Prison Service spokesman said: “We have a zero tolerance policy towards violence and any prisoner found guilty of any offence will be punished.”
“This matter has been referred to the police and it would not be appropriate to comment on it at this time.”
