Derek Chauvin, a former police officer who was convicted of murdering George Floyd, was seriously injured after being stabbed by another inmate at a federal prison in Arizona on Friday, the office of Minnesota's attorney general told CNN in a statement.
The Bureau of Prisons confirmed in an emailed press release to TIME that an incarcerated person, who they did not identify, was assaulted around 12:30 p.m. local time and hospitalized after staff performed life-saving measures. The agency notified the FBI, it said.
Chauvin is serving two sentences for murdering Floyd and violating his civil rights after being caught on camera in 2020 kneeling on the handcuffed man's neck for more than nine minutes as Floyd repeated that he couldn't breathe.
