Maryland correctional officials say an inmate was stabbed and burned with a ``bleach-type liquid'' at a medium-security state prison.
The Washington Post reports that the attack occurred at midday on Thursday at the Maryland Correctional Institution in Jessup.
Mark Vernarelli, a spokesman for the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, says the inmate's injuries were not life-threatening.
Fire officials say the 46-year-old inmate was taken to a burn center in Baltimore.
The name of the alleged assailant has not been released.
