Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer serving a lengthy prison sentence for the killing of George Floyd, has reportedly been stabbed by a fellow prisoner. A source cited by the Associated Press late Friday said Chauvin had been seriously injured in the attack at a federal prison in Arizona.
The Bureau of Prisons, without naming the inmate in question, confirmed there had been an attack and said employees took “life-saving measures” to help the victim before he was taken to a hospital.
Chauvin’s attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Beast.
