He's a horror on the street, a nightmare behind the bar.
Sundance Oliver, 30, Brooklyn Gangbanger, was trapped on murder charges for killing two people and wounding a third, violent on Rikers Island, attacking 48 officers and civilian employees in a prison complex, amendment union officials told the Post.
Now, the union says it needs backing up from the city after the latest attack on executives.
“I'm traumatized,” one of the victims, a seven-year veteran in the department, told the Post. “I keep playing this scene, almost choking and watching my partner get beaten.
“I won't sleep. I'm afraid of my safety,” she said. “These types of inmates, especially those like Sundance, he needs to be under 24 hours of lockdown. He needs to be isolated because staff just keeps on hits. We're already dealing with the trauma of working in prison because we're technically locked up like these people. It's even worse that you're coming to work and you're being assaulted.”
But “punitive separation,” or solitary confinement, is not an option after Mayor Eric Adams signed an executive order banning it, and sued the union for help.
Officials said 80 prison employees have been assaulted by various inmates so far this year.
“We are calling on Doc to assign multiple members of our Strategic Response Team to provide security escorts within the facility to keep our officers safe,” Benny Boscio, president of the Charity Association of City Correction Officers, said in a statement.
“In just a week, two female corrections officers and one male corrections officer were assaulted in an unattacked attack by one of the most violent criminals in our custody,” Boscio said.
“Since he joined Riker in December 2022, the inmate has been on a rampage, raiding 45 corrections officers and three civilians.”
Oliver, a former con man and acclaimed member of the Brooklyn Loop Gang, a violent blood crew based in Pink House in East New York, has more than 30 busts (including sealed cases) on his rap sheets on mass charges including murder, assault and robbery, records show.
Law enforcement sources said he's been running with street gangs since he was 12 and is so infamous that officers called him “a single wave of crime.”
In 2022, he was arrested and charged with a violent four-day crime that killed a 17-year-old girl and a 21-year-old man, and injured a 96-year-old man sitting in a wheelchair, records show.
On Friday, he allegedly launched his latest attack behind the bar.
The injured officer said she and her partner escorted Oliver as they showered, pulling back the chain around her waist and using it like a weapon.
“He started fighting with me and my other female partners, he started to get confused with us,” she said. “At one point, he threw a chain of hips around me and tried to suffocate me. He also had me in a bear embrace so I couldn't order my hand to do anything.
“He threw me into the wall, and then he threw me into the chair,” she said.
Officers who said she was 5 feet tall and weighed about 150 pounds said that Oliver, who was 6 feet, 190 pound, turned his anger towards her partner.
“He grabbed her with his hair and began punching her. He threw her into the wall, picked her up, punched her again, grabbed her into the hair. He punched her many times, then he threw her into the chair.”
She says that Oliver has finally been restrained and has taken him down after the backup arrived.
However, the injured officer, who remains plagued by the attack, said it's not finished for her.
“You don't work in prison. You wouldn't understand,” she said. “After being assaulted, I completely blocked my family.
