A RAPE fiend seriously hurt a prison boss after attacking him with a chair, it’s claimed.
Egan Ritchie, 20, allegedly carried out the unprovoked attack at Polmont Young Offenders Institution, near Falkirk.

It is claimed the beast who carried out vile assaults on four kids when aged just 15 — picked up a seat and battered the senior officer over the head with it.
Other warders had to restrain the lag while the man, 57, was taken to hospital. He later had ten stitches inserted in his wounds.
Tonight a source claimed the horror incident happened after Ritchie flew into a rage.
The insider said: “He is an evil little guy and clearly hasn’t learnt anything since being jailed four years ago.
“The attack was terrible and totally uncalled for. For some reason he was in a bad mood. As soon as he got the chance, he took it.
“Ritchie used the chair and started laying into one of the bosses.
“There was a fair amount of blood around the place and other guards had to move in to stop him.”
The violent thug was put behind bars for seven years after being convicted at the High Court in Glasgow of a month-long rampage in 2019 that saw him target four girls across Ayrshire in Crosshouse, Hurlford and Kilmarnock.
His sickening crimes included rape, assault and threatening behaviour.
Ritchie, then a schoolboy, throttled one terrified youngster with a belt.
And the court heard how his vile actions continued to have “a serious detrimental impact” on victims.
The monster’s identity was first revealed by The Scottish Sun in 2021 after he turned 18.
Tonight a Scottish Prison Service spokesman said: “We take a zero-tolerance approach to criminality and incidents are reported to Police Scotland.”
The national force said: “A report was received at around 11am on March 1 of an assault in HMYOI Polmont.
“A 57-year-old man was taken to hospital. Enquiries are ongoing.”
