Violence in prison! A bloody incident occurred in the prison in Garsten (Upper Austria). An officer was seriously injured by an inmate with a fork. However, the circumstances of the crime can be traced back to completely different problems.

It was a scene straight out of a movie that took place about two weeks ago at the Forensic Therapeutic Center in Garsten (i.e. in prison). An inmate attacked a prison guard with a fork turned into a weapon, stabbing him in the hand and seriously injuring him.
