Derek Chauvin, the previous Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, has been severely injured in a stabbing, the Related Press has reported.
Chauvin was stabbed by one other inmate on the Federal Correctional Establishment in Tucson, Arizona on Friday, the AP mentioned, citing an unnamed particular person aware of the matter.
Floyd’s loss of life in 2020 sparked worldwide protests towards police brutality and racism.
Chauvin, who was filmed kneeling on the Black man’s neck for greater than 9 minutes, was sentenced to 22 and a half years in jail after being discovered responsible of homicide and manslaughter fees in April 2021.
The Federal Correctional Establishment in Tucson didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark.
