Correctional Service Canada says an inmate was the victim of an assault at Warkworth Institution on Valentine’s Day.
In a release, they say the injured inmate was evaluated by staff members and transported to an outside hospital to receive treatment and has since returned to the institution.
This comes after OPP officers received a report regarding an altercation between two inmates where an edged weapon was involved just shortly after 7 p.m.
No staff members or other inmates were injured during this incident.
OPP and the institution are currently investigating.
