A THUG with almost 80 convictions lost the plot behind bars and sliced a prison officer in a shocking attack today.

The young criminal, aged in his early 20s, was put into isolation at Dublin’s Mountjoy Prison as a garda probe is expected to be launched.

The incident happened on B base of the jail after 2pm.

A male prison officer was targeted and sliced from his lip to chin.

The officer was treated in hospital over the deep wound he suffered.

Sources say the lag who carried out the attack is a dangerous and volatile character.

A source told the Irish Sun: “This was an absolutely shocking attack which highlights the dangers faced on a daily basis.

“The prisoner basically went mental and the officer was sliced with a blade.

“He suffered a very deep wound.

“A prison investigation will be carried out but the gardai will be launching their own investigation into it.”

The inmate responsible is serving a lengthy sentence for other knife offences in which he attacked and stabbed two incident people as he robbed them.

In the terrifying incidents, he threatened to kill his victims.

‘ABSOLUTE THUG’

Another source said: “This individual is an absolute thug.

“His record speaks for itself when you look at his convictions and the amount of them for someone aged in their early 20s.”

Recently released figures show that 399 prison officers were violently attacked in Irish jails over the last four years.

There were 110 physical assaults in 2023, 128 in 2022, 91 in 2021 and 70 in 2020.

A BRITISH aid worker lost his arm and leg in a savage Russian drone strike as he rescued Ukrainians trapped along the frontlines.

Heroic volunteer Eddy Scott was seriously injured whilst evacuating innocent civilians from the war-torn city of Pokrovsk.

Brave Eddy was driving a clearly-marked armoured humanitarian truck when it was targeted by an enemy FPV drone on January 30.

He was pulled from the blood-splattered wreckage and rushed to hospital where surgeons amputated his left arm and leg.

Remarkably, Eddy was photographed smiling in his hospital bed and giving the thumbs up with his remaining hand as pals praised his courage.

He tearfully embraced fellow volunteer Filip Goncharov who pulled him free from the busted truck and wept: “You saved me man, you saved me.”

Horrifying pictures and video showed the immediate aftermath of the near-fatal assault.

The armoured truck he was driving was ripped open by the blast with blood spilled across the driver’s seat.

Sailor Eddy, from Shaftesbury, Dorset, took the brunt of the explosion and was rushed to hospital where surgeons battled to save his life.

His team had narrowly survived another attack by Russian forces in December last year as they evacuated three elderly women in Shevchenko.

In an online post from Pokrovsk, Eddy told how they were equipped with a high-tech tracker designed to give a live feed of kamikaze drones operating in the area.

The quad-copters are strapped with explosives by the enemy – and Ukrainian forces – and flown via first person live-feed cameras.

Attacks in frontline cities like Pokrovsk are happening on a daily basis.

Courageous Eddy described the deadly drones as being constantly in the air and the fear of Russian attacks always looming.

He said: “Sometimes we get lucky and the weather is bad. Snow, rain, and fog act as an invisibility cloak, hiding us from prying eyes.

“But even when they can’t see, they still shoot. Most of our evacuees are waiting for us when we arrive.

“They are ready to leave. But some need convincing. The safety of leaving, and the danger of staying. Most decide to leave.

“We pack their belongings into the van. Some bring bags and boxes and jars and burlap sacks and trolleys and… We take everything we can fit.

“Some have only a single bag containing their most important possessions.”

He noted that Pokrovsk is one of the worst hit areas in Ukraine he has visited saying the city has “suffered”.

“Every day fresh debris litter our routes through the city. Blocks of flats destroyed, their last inhabitants evacuated days before,” Eddy said.

“The rolling storm of artillery, and plumes of smoke across the city.”

Base UA, a non-governmental organisation Eddy was working for, said the van was hit directly during the evacuation of two citizens.

The group said Eddy “took the majority of the blow” and was left with crippling injuries.

He is only alive due to the brilliant efforts of his close friend Filip, who gave lifesaving care under extreme pressure to Eddy.

In the end, doctors only had to amputate Eddy’s left leg and arm.

Two of the evacuees also sustained minor shrapnel injuries.

Base UA added: “Russian troops are shelling humanitarian organisations and civilians. We see this in Pokrovsk every day.

“We continue to support Eddy and Filip during this difficult time.”

Fundraiser for Eddy

Eddy, pictured with his German Shepherd Ice, has repeatedly travelled to Ukraine to help since Russia invaded three years ago.

In December he wrote about feeling settled in Ukraine – adding: “I have responsibilities now, with both the world’s cutest dog and goddaughter, and an obligation to help defend my home.

“Now I’m back at the aforementioned crack home, listening to the windows rattle and planning the next phase of work, a four hour drive from the closest l’ve been to peace in months.”

A GoFundMe page has since been set up and has already raised over £46,000.

A post on the fundraiser read: “During a civilian evacuation from the frontline in Pokrovsk, our team’s armoured vehicle was hit by a FPV drone.

“Most got out with minor injuries but Eddy, who was the driver that day, took the majority of the blow and was seriously injured.

“He consequently had his left arm and leg amputated. He is now in stable condition in an ICU and receiving the critical care he needs.”

It adds: “Eddy has dedicated the last three years of his life to helping others, risking his life countless times, and now it’s our turn to help him.

“Eddy has a long road ahead, and during this time will not have any way of earning any income, so a portion of the money donated will go to his living costs during/after rehabilitation.”

Another post from his friend Nick Laidlaw said: “Eddy let me stay with him near the Eastern front for free during my last trip to Ukraine.

“He gave me and my translator a bed, and hot meals in the evening.

“During the day, I’d be out filming artillery or medical evacuations, and at that time, Eddy was helping to move hospital equipment out of reach of Russian artillery.

“And still, every night he came home and had a hot meal waiting for us after he had worked tirelessly for free the entire day.

“Eddy is one of the most selfless and helpful souls I’ve ever met.

“He’s helped the civilians of Ukraine for years, and now it’s our turn to help him.

“Instead of buying that cup of Starbucks, please consider helping Eddy recover as the victim of a war crime.”

Fellow Brit Harley William continued: “We are raising money, for the best care for Eddy, who risked his life every day to save lives on the frontline.

“He’s a British lad, whose got the biggest heart. He’s now an amputee.”

The attack on Eddy’s humanitarian truck comes exactly a year after fellow Brit aid workers Chris Parry and Andrew Bagshaw were killed on an evacuation run in Soledar, eastern Ukraine.

In a statement issued at the time, Chris’s family said: “His selfless determination in helping the old, young and disadvantaged there has made us and his larger family extremely proud.”

DANCING On Ice’s Christopher Dean fought back tears on tonight’s show while paying tribute to the victims of the Washington air disaster.

Last week 67 people died, including members of an American figure skating team, when a Black Hawk helicopter collided with a commercial American Airlines flight as it was coming in to land at the Reagan Airport.

Taking a moment to reflect on the disaster, Olympic legend Christopher said: “17 members of the skating community lost their lives and it’s felt across the world.

“We want to send our sincere condolences to all the family and friends who lost loved ones that day.”

Host Holly Willoughby acknowledged Christopher choking up, telling him she knew how much he was moved by the incident.

The jet’s pilots have been named as captain Jonathan Campos, 34, and first officer Samuel Lilley, 28.

US president Donald Trump suggested the military chopper was “flying too high by a lot” seconds before the crash.

It is understood the helicopter pilots had requested a predetermined flight path, referred to as Route 4, from air traffic control.

This would have allowed the Black Hawk, which was carrying three “fairly experienced” pilots wearing night vision goggles, to fly at low altitude along the bank on the east side of the river.

But the doomed chopper flew higher and further away from the bank than it should have done, ­officials told The New York Times.

The helicopter should have flown below 200ft but it is claimed it had ascended to more than 300ft when it hit the plane.

In a post on Truth Social, Mr Trump said: “The Black Hawk ­helicopter was flying too high, by a lot. It was far above the 200ft limit.

“That’s not really too complicated to understand, is it???”

Mr Trump has signed an executive order demanding an immediate assessment of aviation security.

Investigators have already started analysing the black box data recorder recovered from the plane.
