An inmate tried to slit the throat of convicted child kidnapper Lindsey Bruce at the Ohio Correctional Facility but Bruce escaped with a minor wound. The attack occurred Tuesday at the facility near Columbus where Bruce was sent a week ago, reports the Ohio News Now. The attacker used a disposable razor as a weapon, the report said. “Someone came up behind him, and they were able to cut him from his ear to somewhere under his neck,” a prison spokesman said. But the wound was not deep and Bruce was treated at the prison, the spokesman said. Last month, Bruce was sentenced to 10 years for kidnapping 5-year-old Emily Rimel, who has never been found. The detective who arrested Bruce wants him to help locate the child. “The only thing I can hope is somewhere down the line, he’s going to get a conscience again and he’s going to want to make it right,” the detective said. © Copyright 2005 by United Press International
