Prisoners bust out of locked cell to help unconscious guard

WEATHERFORD, TX (FOX News) - A jailer in Texas may owe his survival from an apparent heart attack to a group of prisoners who saw him fall ill and busted out of a locked cell to call for help.

The video that's going viral shows the guard slumping as he goes unconscious and then the inmates shout for help before breaking out of the holding cell.

It happened at the Parker County courthouse in Weatherford, Texas on June 23.
