The prisoner allegedly said he attacked Chauvin on Black Friday as a symbolic link to Black Lives Matter.

A US prison inmate has been charged with attempted murder after stabbing Derek Chauvin, the ex-police officer convicted in the death of George Floyd.

Prosecutors said ex-gang member John Turscak used an improvised blade to knife Chauvin 22 times on 24 November at a federal prison in Arizona.
