A former inmate at a Suffolk jail has appeared in court charged with assaulting two prison officers.
John Ryan appeared before Ipswich Crown Court on Wednesday afternoon to face two counts of common assault on an emergency worker.
The 49-year-old, who is now serving at HMP Wormwood Scrubs, is alleged to have assaulted prison officers Gray and De Oliveira in the execution of their duties on Friday, October 30 last year, at Highpoint prison, near Haverhill.
Prison officers are defined as emergency workers under section 3(1) of the Assaults on Emergency Workers (Offences) Act 2018.
Ryan has yet to enter a plea to either of the charges.
