Rhys gunman stabs Jimmy Mizen killer in prison
Sean Mercer, 18, attacked Jake Fahri, 19, with a pair of tweezers that had been sharpened and bound with tape to create a makeshift knife, it is alleged.
The incident in the exercise yard at Moorlands Young Offenders' Institute in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, on Monday also involved a third youth who held Fahri down during the attack.
Fahri, serving 14 years for slashing 16-year-old Jimmy's throat following an argument in a London baker's shop in May last year, was later taken to hospital and treated for stab wounds.
Mercer, who is serving 22 years for shooting 11-year-old Rhys dead during a gang shooting in Liverpool, has been moved to an isolation wing.
A Prison Service spokesman said: "Staff acted quickly to control the situation and one prisoner was taken to an outside hospital for treatment. Police have been notified of this incident and are investigating."
