Pair of Muslim converts at Broadmoor Hospital leave two staff with ‘horrendous’ facial injuries after slashing them with broken DVDs after ‘row over prayers’

From the Daily Mail

Two members of staff at a high-security psychiatric hospital were attacked by a pair of Muslim converts after a row over prayers. The men suffered ‘horrendous’ facial wounds after they were repeatedly stabbed with broken DVDs at Broadmoor Hospital. It is said to have been sparked after the Muslim patients were told they could not pray in the day and dining rooms. 

A source told The Sun: ‘There was blood everywhere. It was horrendous. The poor blokes’ faces were a mess. They seemed to have life-changing injuries.’

The workers, aged 63 and 64, were taken to hospital after the incident at Crowthorne in West Berkshire and are still receiving treatment.

It’s claimed the attackers are ‘British guys, who converted to Islam fairly recently’ and they felt they were being ‘picked on’. The incident, on July 23, led to a weapons search in the patients’ wards. The MailOnline has contacted WLMHT for comment.
