NORTH LONDON — Two prison guards had to be taken to hospital after they were attacked by an inmate at Pentonville Prison in North London.
The two guards were attacked after an inmate was not allowed a second helping of food, it has been reported.
The incident came just two days after a report warned of ‘realistic concerns’ that spending cuts would threaten the safety of staff and inmates at the prison.
In the attack on Thursday a male officer was punched in the face by an inmate, The Mirror has reported.
A female officer was thrown against a wall by a second inmate when she tried to intervene.
According to the paper, both of them were taken to hospital with cuts and bruises.
