A former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd has been seriously injured after being stabbed in prison, according to the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Derek Chauvin<\/strong> was attacked by another inmate while in prison in Arizona, according to the US news agency, which quoted an unnamed source.<\/p>\n

The US Bureau of Prisons confirmed an inmate had been assaulted at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Tucson at around 12.30pm local time on Friday.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the agency said prison staff performed “life-saving measures” before the inmate, who it did not name, was taken to a hospital for further treatment and evaluation.<\/p>\n

The FBI has said it was aware of an assault at the prison – though it also did not name anyone involved.<\/p>\n

Chauvin, 47, was sent to FCI Tucson from a maximum-security Minnesota state prison in August 2022 to serve a 22-year sentence for the second-degree murder of Mr Floyd<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He was also sentenced to a concurrent 21-year sentence for violating Mr Floyd’s civil rights.<\/p>\n

Mr Floyd<\/strong>, 46, died in May 2020 after Chauvin pressed a knee on his neck for more than nine minutes on the street outside a convenience store in Minnesota, where he was suspected of trying to pass counterfeit money.<\/p>\n

The murder, which was recorded on a mobile phone by a passer-by, who filmed Mr Floyd saying “I can’t breathe”, sparked protests against racism and police brutality across the world.<\/p>\n

Three other former officers received lesser state and federal sentences for their roles in Mr Floyd’s death.<\/p>\n

Chauvin was mainly kept in solitary confinement during his time in prison in Minnesota, “largely for his own protection”, his lawyer wrote in court papers last year.<\/p>\n

Last week, the US Supreme Court rejected Chauvin’s appeal against his state murder conviction.<\/p>\n

Separately, he is attempting to overturn his guilty plea in the federal civil rights case, claiming new evidence shows he did not cause Mr Floyd’s death.<\/p>\n
