Four prison officers and a prisoner were injured following a vicious blade attack inside Mountjoy Prison allegedly led by a notorious gangland criminal.
One prisoner sustained a slash wound to his neck and received around 20 stitches following the melee last Monday, July 10, at the Dublin prison reports the Irish Mirror. Four prison staff members sustained less serous slash wounds while protecting the prisoner during the violent jail clash.
The Irish Prison Service has confirmed that they are investigating "an incident at Mountjoy Prison on 10th July 2023 involving four prison officers”.
