Charles Bronson anxious after prison assault, ex-wife says.

Charles Bronson Attacked in Prison by Convicted Murderer

Charles Bronson, known as Britain's most dangerous prisoner, was attacked by convicted murderer Robert Donaldson in Category A HMP Woodhill last week. The 71-year-old Bronson fought back with two hooks and two uppercuts when Donaldson charged at him. Donaldson, 48, was jailed in 2005 for murdering Paul Bourke and committing other violent crimes.

Bronson's ex-wife, Irene Dunroe, expressed concern over the incident, stating she was saddened by the violence. She mentioned Bronson's struggles with PTSD and his need to protect himself due to past experiences. Bronson, who spends most of his time in a cell, lost a parole board bid for freedom last year.

The altercation is under investigation, and Bronson has been stripped of privileges while the probe continues. The Ministry of Justice confirmed the incident and emphasized a zero-tolerance policy towards violence in prisons. Donaldson, who instigated the attack, has not faced consequences yet.

Bronson, previously known for his violent behavior, has stated in recent years that he has transformed into a peace-loving artist. Despite his efforts to change, the recent incident may impact his chances of being released. Donaldson's criminal history includes attacking elderly individuals and committing violent crimes. The prison authorities are reviewing CCTV footage and statements to determine the sequence of events.
