A TERRORIST who ploughed his van into worshippers outside a mosque has been slashed in a jail “revenge” attack.
Darren Osborne, 53, who killed a man and injured 12 more in the June 2017 horror, was ambushed by an inmate with a “shank” knife.
A Muslim lag is thought to be behind the assault — at least the third on Osborne during his time behind bars.
The far-Right bloke was jailed for a minimum 43 years for his van outrage outside Finsbury Park Mosque, North London.
The court heard that Chandler’s attack left extremist Osborne with “significant” and “permanent damage” to his eye.
Her Honour Judge McKone said Osborne had been left “very frightened of losing the sight in his right eye” and although was expected to make a full recovery, could end up requiring a glass eye in the future.
The assault has also left Osborne, from the Pentwyn area of Cardiff, with permanent tissue damage to his arm.
Osborne is serving a minimum of 43 years for the Finsbury Park attack, after being convicted in 2018 of murder and also attempted murder.
During Osborne’s trial, the prosecution said they were “clear throughout that this was a terrorist attack”.
His attacker Chandler was already serving a life sentence for a murder in Essex in 2017.
The 48-year-old was also given an additional 10 year term for another attack on an inmate at a prison in Chelmsford.
Chandler admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm on Osborne, and having a bladed instrument in the prison.
He was ordered to serve a further eight years in jail on top of his previous sentences.
