Chauvin was stabbed and seriously injured by another inmate inside a federal prison in Tucson, Ariz., according to officials.
Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who was convicted of George Floyd’s murder, was seriously injured on Friday after another inmate stabbed him inside a federal prison in Arizona.
The attack took place around 12:30 p.m. local time at the Federal Correction Institution, Tucson, according to The Associated Press, which was the first to report the incident. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison also confirmed to The Star Tribune that Chauvin, 47, was stabbed but remains in stable condition.
„I am sad to hear that Derek Chauvin was the target of violence,“ Ellison said. „He was duly convicted of his crimes and, like any incarcerated individual, he should be able to serve his sentence without fear of retaliation or violence.
