The Islamist teenager boiled water in his in-cell kettle and mixed it with sugar before throwing it at the officer as he delivered breakfast.

Triple child killer Rudakubana, 18, chucked kettle-boiled water at a guard at London's high-security HMP Belmarsh in May, as revealed by The Sun.
The latest incident, on Saturday at Wetherby Young Offender Institution in West Yorkshire, saw the guard treated in hospital.
A colleague also suffered minor injuries.
A source said: 'Why on earth did this high-risk prisoner have a kettle in his cell?
'They may as well have given him a gun or a knife.
'Everyone believes it was a copycat of what Rudakubana did as the method is the same and, in a warped way, would have been inspired by him.
'Tests have shown the water was mixed with sugar — so the evil little scrote was trying to cause maximum damage.'
Counter Terrorism Policing North East said it was investigating the incident.
The Youth Custody Service confirmed two staff members were hurt, one of them receiving treatment in hospital.

Farage has ‘doubts' Lucy Letby killed babies
Nigel Farage has said he has 'doubts' over Lucy Letby's murder convictions. The Reform UK leader is the latest high-profile politician to raise concerns over the case of the nurse who was jailed for life following the deaths of seven babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital. Mr Farage was responding to comments made by the former health secretary, Jeremy Hunt, who held the post when Letby carried out her crimes. Mr Hunt said this week that new evidence 'raises serious and credible questions' about her conviction. He said that questions around the safety of her conviction were not conspiracy theories from 'far-flung reaches of the internet' and said they needed addressing 'as a matter of urgency'. Speaking on GB News, Mr Farage said that he too was starting to have 'doubts' about the case. 'I have a feeling, actually, Jeremy Hunt might be right about the Lucy Letby case. I'm just beginning to get more and more doubts about that issue,' he said. Letby, 35, from Herefordshire, was convicted for murdering seven babies and attempting to kill seven others while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital in 2015 and 2016. After she was sentenced to 15 life terms in prison, the Thirlwall Inquiry was launched to discover how she was able to commit the crimes. A number of experts have since challenged the way evidence was presented to the jury during her trial, and a panel of world-leading experts have reviewed the medical notes and concluded that there were no malicious acts. Appearing at the inquiry earlier this year, Mr Hunt apologised to the families of Letby's victims and said her crimes had been committed 'on [his] watch'. Letby's case is being considered by the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), which looks into potential miscarriages of justice, although police and the Crown Prosecution Service insist she was fairly convicted. The CCRC is considering evidence that poor medical care and natural causes were the reasons for the babies' deaths and collapses. In April, more than 400 healthcare workers, including about 200 nurses, called for a review of Letby's case. They claimed her 'unsafe' conviction had triggered a 'climate of fear' in the NHS and that they have been 'gagged' and prevented from speaking out on her behalf by their trusts. In 2024, Letby lost two bids to challenge her convictions at the Court of Appeal – in May for seven murders and seven attempted murders, and in October for the attempted murder of a baby girl, of which she was convicted by a different jury at a retrial. Cheshire Constabulary is continuing a review of deaths and non-fatal collapses of babies at the neonatal units of the Countess of Chester and Liverpool Women's Hospital during Letby's time as a nurse from 2012 to 2016. A separate investigation by the force into allegations of corporate manslaughter and gross negligence manslaughter at the Countess of Chester Hospital is continuing.

Seven men have been charged after two people were injured during a protest outside the Iranian embassy in London, Scotland Yard has said. Officers from the Metropolitan Police responded to reports of a fight in Princes Gate in Knightsbridge shortly after 9.50am on Friday. Two men involved in an altercation outside the embassy, aged 37 and 39, were taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries. Eight people have now been arrested in connection with the incident, including the 39-year-old. Seven of those arrested were charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent on Saturday, the Metropolitan Police said. The men, who are all Iranian nationals, have been remanded into custody to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday. Those charged are: Mohammad Nadiri, 30, of Central Street, Islington; Pourrezaei Vahid, 41, of Hamlet Square, Cricklewood; Armin Hasanlov, 35, of Prescot Road, Liverpool; Esmaeil Balouchy, 50, of Brent Lea, Brentford; Saeed Hosseingholipoor, 34, of Wilkins Close, Mitcham; Farzin Suleimani, 31, of Selsey Road, Birmingham; Aref Yazdan Parast, 31, of Worton Road, Isleworth.

Police have imposed conditions to stop protesters from gathering in the area until 1pm on Sunday. Footage shared on social media appeared to show two men lying on the ground in a fenced-off section of the road. One man, who was shirtless, had blood covering his nose and mouth, while the other man lay motionless clutching his left leg and ankle, with police officers attending both individuals. A number of national embassies are located on or near Princes Gate, including the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
