A female prison officer was brutally attacked and left with life-changing injuries in the Criminal Courts of Justice, it has emerged.
The Dochas Centre warder suffered facial injuries in the gruesome assault – which came just days before another warder was assaulted by a convicted murderer in an escape bid.
Sources say the young staff member was attacked by a female prisoner on remand in the CCJ last week. She is now on sick leave awaiting medical treatment for her eye.
