Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, is reported to have been stabbed by another inmate and seriously injured at a federal prison in Arizona, according to the Associated Press (AP) new agency, which is citing an anonymous source.
The attack is reported to have happened on Friday at the Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson, a medium-security prison that has been plagued by security lapses and staffing shortages.
AP said the person was not authorised to publicly discuss details of the attack and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The New York Times is also reporting the incident, citing two people with knowledge of the situation.
