In a concerning turn of events, an inmate at HMP Wandsworth has been subjected to a stabbing, intensifying security concerns at the prison just days after a high-profile terror suspect escaped.
The incident unfolded in the early afternoon, with emergency services responding promptly after receiving the call for assistance shortly after 3pm. The victim, whose identity has not been disclosed, is currently in critical condition and was swiftly transported to a major trauma centre via ambulance. In addition to the ambulance response, an air ambulance was also dispatched to the scene.
Preliminary information suggests that the altercation resulting in the stabbing occurred between inmates, marking another instance of violence within the prison’s confines.
This unsettling incident comes in the wake of the recent escape of 21-year-old terror suspect Daniel Khalife. Mr Khalife’s disappearance from the prison on Wednesday has raised significant questions about security protocols and procedures within HMP Wandsworth.
The situation has understandably heightened concerns regarding the safety and security of both inmates and staff at the facility. Authorities are now faced with the challenging task of investigating the circumstances surrounding this stabbing while simultaneously addressing the security issues raised by Mr Khalife’s escape.
