Female security guard fights for life after being attacked by a male prisoner in Court

A female prison guard has been left in critical condition after being attacked by a prisoner she was escorting outside court. The woman, who is in her 50s and works for security firm Serco, was walking a 22-year-old male from Blackfriars Crown Court to a waiting prison van when the attack happened.

The woman's injuries were so severe an air ambulance had to be called and she was taken to the Royal London Hospital, in Whitechapel, where she remains in critical condition.
