The morning after the attack, James Bloomfield of the Union of Canadian Correctional Officers said the officer had been asking the accused to return to his cell when the inmate suddenly jumped at him, allegedly slashing him across the neck with a homemade knife.

“It was a simple, blind attack directed toward the officer and intended to kill,” Bloomfield told 680 CJOB at the time.
