Fugitive Nicholas Rossi has electric wheelchair confiscated in prison - for using it as a weapon

Lying fugitive Nicholas Rossi had his electric wheelchair confiscated in prison... for using it as a weapon. The American sex offender is in Edinburgh’s Saughton Prison awaiting extradition to the US over rape charges.

In his fake guise as an innocent Irishman called Arthur Knight, he used an electric wheelchair after claiming a Covid infection left him too unwell to walk. But the Sunday Mail reveal it was taken off him in prison last month when he began using it to ram other inmates.

Rossi’s need for the chair has been questioned – especially when a court heard he jumped out of a hospital bed at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital to chase two female medics. It comes after the Sunday Mail last week revealed how he'd conned senior members of Bob Dylan's team.
