A Greater Manchester Police (GMP) detective constable is in stable condition following a stabbing incident this morning at HMP Frankland, a high-security prison known for housing some of the UK’s most notorious criminals.
The officer was attacked in the chest around 11 AM by an inmate and was promptly attended to by land and air ambulance crews. He was rushed to the hospital where he was initially listed in critical condition, but authorities have now confirmed that his status has stabilised.
The prison has been the site of previous violent incidents, highlighting ongoing security challenges within high-security facilities. Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding today’s stabbing as they engage with the victim and his family to provide support during his recovery.
Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
