Low Moss prisoner fractured fellow inmate's eye socket amid an ambush
Maughan is currently behind bars after he rammed into a van which contained his pregnant sister-in-law and her husband.
He was told by a sheriff that he had 'used his car as a weapon' during the incident in Falkirk on July 17 2023.
Maughan was sentenced to three years and nine months earlier this year for that matter.

Maughan pleaded guilty today at Glasgow Sheriff Court to his latest offence of assaulting Wilson to his severe injury.
The court heard that Maughan came from behind Wilson and spun him around.
Prosecutor Victoria Keel said: 'Maughan punched him to the face which knocked him to the ground.
'When on the ground, another man kicked him on the body.
'Maughan then punched him another time to the face.'
Wilson was then taken to hospital where he was found to have suffered swelling and bruising to his right eye.
He also sustained tenderness to his nose, forehead and cheek.
Miss Keel added: 'He was found to have a fractured eye socket which required an investigation and surgery.
'The doctor also manipulated his nasal bones and he was released from hospital in June 2023.'
Ross McGowan, defending, told the court that Maughan had been previously threatened by Wilson.
The lawyer added: 'Mr Maughan foolishly took matters into his own hands rather than reporting the matter and allow the authorities to deal with it.
'He knows this is what he should have done at the time.'
Sheriff Joan Kerr ordered that Maughan's latest sentence be consecutive to the one he is currently servicing.

Rape survivors to challenge controversial protest outside Holyrood
Justice for Innocent Men Scotland (JIMS) have planned a 'silent protest' outside of the Scottish Parliament on Tuesday September 9 claiming to represent 'innocent people caught in broken justice systems'. However, the group have been accused of trolling rape survivors, which they deny, and are due to be met by a counter-protest organised by Justice for Exploited and Mistreated Survivors (JEMS). The group says some members have been targeted online by JIMS supporters. Ellie Wilson, 27, said she was labelled as an 'attention seeker' in the wake of her rapist's conviction, told the Daily Record: 'All of us survivors have come together because we've faced targeting by this group. 'They're gathering for their protest so we thought it was important that we show survivors solidarity. READ MORE: SNP demand UK Government act amid Israeli E1 plan in West Bank 'Our aim is to call out victim blaming and show survivors that we stand with them and stand together. 'We stand against any sort of behaviour that tries to blame them for what happened. 'It's so difficult in this country to get a guilty verdict in the first place. So to go through that then be told this didn't happen to you, in quite a public way as well, just isn't acceptable. 'It's bullying and it's public humiliation. It shouldn't be happening and we believe that the majority of Scotland does stand with survivors and we want to show that.' In 2022, Daniel McFarlane was sentenced to five years in prison for raping Wilson twice while they were both students at Glasgow University. Wilson, who waived her anonymity to fight for change in the justice system, said supporters of JIMS accused her of trying to 'gain fame' and make money. She added: 'It's so difficult in this country to get a guilty verdict in the first place. So to go through that then be told this didn't happen to you, in quite a public way as well, just isn't acceptable. 'It's bullying and it's public humiliation. It shouldn't be happening and we believe that the majority of Scotland does stand with survivors and we want to show that.' 'I think people feel more empowered to say or do things online, which is leading to a lot of this horrible behaviour,' Wilson added. 'We definitely have lots of interest (in the counter protest), so I think it will be quite likely that we get more numbers than they do.' On social media, JIMS advertised the protest as a 'peaceful' gathering on International Falsely Accused Day to 'stand up for justice, truth, and the many innocent lives being quietly destroyed by a broken system'. The post continued: 'This is a lawful, peaceful protest and we will stand united for those who can't. For families shattered by wrongful convictions. For truth. For fair trials.' READ MORE: NHS Fife 'broke the law' claims EHRC amid Sandie Peggie tribunal They added that they had informed the authorities of the counter-protest plans and that Holyrood security is 'reviewing the matter'. One of JIMS arguments is that, because of the Criminal Procedure Act, crucial evidence is being ignored. It was designed to protect victims from intrusive questioning. 'We fight for fair trials and against wrongful convictions in Scotland,' their Facebook page states. 'We challenge the misuse of the corroboration laws, Moorov Doctrine and Sections 274/275, which undermine justice and deny the accused a proper defense.' Rape cases are notoriously difficult to prosecute, and in 2021-22 only 48% of cases that made it to court resulted in a conviction.

London Vietnamese restaurant shut down after 'dog meat found in freezer'
A London restaurant has been shut down after dog meat was allegedly found in the freezer. Pho Na, a Vietnamese restaurant on Old Kent Road, Southwark, closed after inspectors found the suspicious looking meat labelled as 'goat wrapped in leaves'. But when it was sent for analysis it was confirmed it was dog meat. Inspectors also discovered mice droppings and cockroaches inside the establishment. Owner Vuong Quoc Nguyen, 47, denied multiple food safety and hygiene offences at Bromley Magistrates' Court on Tuesday. Defence solicitor Piers Kiss-Wilson said his client did not know it was dog meat as it had been supplied to him by someone else. He added the meat was never for sale, and pest control had been hired to deal with the mouse and cockroach infestation. Lewisham Council said: 'Following a failed food safety inspection at the former local business Pho Na, Lewisham Council commenced prosecution action in relation to food hygiene offences in 2023. 'The Council did not order the closure of the business, which was subsequently sold independently. 'As this matter is subject to ongoing legal proceedings, we are unable to provide further comment at this time.'

Malaysia PM calls for probe into syringe attack on ex-minister's son
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Thursday that he has ordered authorities to conduct a swift and thorough investigation into an attack on a former minister's son that took place a day earlier. Former economy minister Rafizi Ramli, who resigned from Anwar's cabinet in May, said in a social media post that his 12-year-old son was dragged away and stabbed with a syringe by an unknown assailant while leaving a shopping mall on Wednesday. Anwar said he told the home minister and top police chief to ensure a transparent probe into the "very alarming" incident was conducted. "I guarantee the home minister and inspector-general of police said they will act immediately, swiftly, and transparently," he told parliament on Thursday. Rafizi has been critical of Anwar and the government since his resignation as economy minister, which came after he lost his position as deputy president in the premier's political party. Last month, Rafizi called for a royal commission of inquiry to probe alleged political interference in the judiciary, among other concerns. At a press conference following Anwar's remarks, Rafizi said the attack on his son was "an act of intimidation" to silence him, adding that his wife had received threats via text message. One of the messages read "Shut up! If you continue, AIDS!" followed by three syringe emojis, Rafizi said. He said he believes the threats are linked to a meeting with whistleblowers last week. He did not elaborate further. Rafizi said while health checks showed his son had not experienced any immediate side effects, he must undergo regular blood tests to rule out viral infections such as hepatitis or HIV. The attack comes as political leaders voiced concerns over increasing incidents of violence in Malaysia. Last year, the country saw several attacks on its soccer players, with one national footballer severely injured after he was splashed with acid by an unknown assailant at a shopping mall.
