A PRISON OFFICER has been stabbed in the face during an attempted escape of an inmate in Dublin earlier today.
It’s understood that during an escort from Mountjoy Prison to a medical appointment, a life sentenced prisoner produced an instrument and stabbed an escorting officer in the face.
Staff were able to escort the prisoner back to Mountjoy, it’s understood.
The injured officer is believed to be in a stable condition.
In a statement, the Irish Prison Service said it is “aware of an incident that occurred with an escort from Mountjoy Prison earlier today”.
“An Garda Síochána have been informed and therefore the Irish Prison Service cannot comment on an ongoing investigation,” it said.

Jesus. The poor person. You never think you’re going to go to work and end up stabbed in the face, even a prison officer I’d bet!
Edit bet not bed.
Sometimes there’s just no rehabilitation for people. Best would be if the state and society were rid of them.
Instead he’ll go back to court and have a few extra years tacked onto his sentence, which he doesn’t care about, and he’ll have the opportunity to shank some other poor guy just doing his job on the next occasion. Costing the state and society millions over his lifetime.
Poor fella hope he’s ok.
Does this mean they were transporting a violently dangerous murderer without any form of restraint?
