Yorkshire Ripper stabbed by fellow patient
Healthcare Security Weekly, December 31, 2007
Britain's serial killer Peter Sutcliffe, in custody at Broadmoor Hospital in England, was attacked by a fellow patient with a table knife on December 22, according to news reports.
Sutcliffe, 61, was stabbed in the face on a ward of the high-security hospital, reported The Sun newspaper. Known as the Yorkshire Ripper, Sutcliffe was jailed in 1981 for 13 murders. He was blinded in one eye after a fellow inmate repeatedly stabbed him with a pen at Broadmoor 10 years ago, the newspaper said.
In the latest attack, a fellow patient lunged at him, leaving him with a cut on the cheek.
