Aaron Hernandez, the former New England Patriots tight end who is currently behind bars on murder charges, reportedly attacked another inmate at the jail where he’s being held.

Hernandez, who has been in solitary confinement since his incarceration, was allowed to take a walk in a hallway at Bristol County Jail on Tuesday, TMZ reported.

Hernandez, 24, apparently recognized another inmate he had been feuding with all day and launched into an attack, sources told the news site.

No other information was immediately available.

The former Florida Gator is awaiting trial in connection with the 2013 shooting death of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd.
