Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, is reported to have been stabbed by another inmate and seriously injured at a federal prison in Arizona, according to the Associated Press (AP) new agency, which is citing an anonymous source.
The attack is reported to have happened on Friday at the Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson, a medium-security prison that has been plagued by security lapses and staffing shortages.
Last week, the US supreme court rejected Chauvin’s appeal against his murder conviction. Separately, Chauvin is making a bid to overturn his federal guilty plea, claiming new evidence shows he didn’t cause Floyd’s death.
