He pleaded guilty to three charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and three charges of possession of an unauthorised offensive weapon in prison.

Umbrasko was jailed for two-and-a-half years for assaulting the prison guards and two-and-a-half years for burglary and theft.

Detective Constable Alex Dorlin, who investigated the attacks, said: “Umbrasko is a dangerous man that has committed selfish crimes against staff trying to do their job.

"He gave no thought to the victims when he attacked them and acted in a callous way that caused injury to others.”
