Prisoner throws slop at ex-Met police chief Ali Dizaei

Behind bars: Ali Dizaei was jailed for four years this month
12 April 2012

Jailed police commander Ali Dizaei has been assaulted while in prison, sources said today.

The senior Metropolitan Police officer is serving a four-year sentence for threatening and falsely arresting a businessman before trying to frame him.

Another inmate at HMP Edmunds Hill, Suffolk, poured a slop bucket over Dizaei's head on Monday, it was reported, and the former police chief was then punched in the face and knocked out.

The Daily Mirror said he was only moved to the prison on Friday amid fears for his safety, and is now in seclusion.

Dizaei was convicted this month over his treatment of Waad al-Baghdadi, 24, and branded a "criminal in uniform".
