5 -year old April Jones killer Mark Bridger has been attacked by a fellow prisoner less than two months into his whole life sentence.<\/h1>\n

The 47-year-old, who was jailed in May for abducting and murdering schoolgirl April Jones, was slashed with a makeshift blade during the attack as he walked along a gangway at HMP Wakefield in West Yorkshire.<\/p>\n

Bridger reportedly suffered facial injuries and was taken to a local hospital where he was given stitches.<\/p>\n

Prison officers stepped in to save him from further injury, according to The Sun newspaper.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for Her Majesty’s Prison Service confirmed a prisoner had been injured and taken to hospital during the attack, which is now being investigated by the police.<\/p>\n

Bridger kidnapped April before sexually abusing and murdering her and disposing of her body last October.<\/p>\n

Police believe he dismembered the five-year-old’s body before dumping the body parts at various locations in the hills, rivers and forests surrounding his home.<\/p>\n

He was given a whole life sentence by judge Mr Justice Griffith Williams after a jury found him guilty following a month-long trial.<\/p>\n

April had been playing with friends close to her home on the Bryn-y-Gog estate in Machynlleth, Powys, when Bridger enticed her into his car.<\/p>\n

Following his arrest, detectives found numerous indecent images on his computer and traces of April’s blood around his home.<\/p>\n

HMP Wakefield is a high-security prison which houses an average of 740 male inmates, many of whom are serious sex offenders.<\/p>\n

The jail houses a number of child killers including Roy Whiting, Levi Bellfield and Mick Philpott.<\/p>\n

Mark Bridger had previously been kept away from other prisoners for his own safety, as attacks on notorious inmates are not uncommon in Britain’s jails.<\/p>\n

Despite tight security surrounding high-profile inmates – including segregation for paedophiles and child killers – attacks with makeshift blades and other improvised weapons do take place.<\/p>\n

Ian Huntley, the killer of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, was attacked at Wakefield when a fellow prisoner, murderer Mark Hobson, threw a bucket of boiling water over him in September 2005.<\/p>\n

Huntley was moved to HMP Frankland in January 2008, where his throat was slashed by another inmate in March 2010.<\/p>\n

Roy Whiting, killer of schoolgirl Sarah Payne, was stabbed by a fellow inmate in Wakefield in July 2011.<\/p>\n

Double murderer Gary Vinter was given an indefinite sentence with a notional minimum five-year term after he admitted attacking Whiting with a sharpened toilet brush handle.<\/p>\n
