Police are investigating after one of the two men accused of
murdering Fusilier Lee Rigby outside Woolwich barracks in May alleged he had
been assaulted in Belmarsh prison.
It is understood Michael Adebolajo, of Romford, east London,
lost two front teeth in Wednesday's alleged attack.
No arrests have been made.
The Old Bailey trial of Mr Adebolajo, 28, and co-accused,
Michael Adebowale, 22, from Greenwich, south-east London, has been set for 18
November.
Mr Adebolajo is also accused of the attempted murder of two
police officers and possession of a firearm with intent to cause others to
believe that violence would be used.
A Prison Service spokesperson said: "The police are
investigating an incident that took place at HMP Belmarsh on 17 July.
"It would be inappropriate to comment while the
investigation was ongoing."
Prime Minister David Cameron joined thousands of mourners at
Fusilier Rigby's military funeral at Bury Parish Church in Greater Manchester
on Friday.
The 25-year-old soldier's commanding officer, Lt Col Jim
Taylor, said in a eulogy he was "larger than life [and] was always at the
centre of fun and mischief, but he was a true regimental character with real
charisma and everybody fell under his spell".
After the service, his body was driven along roads lined by
mourners for a private burial at Middleton Cemetery.
