Sharif is understood to have suffered slashes to his face and body, requiring stitches.
Urfan Sharif, who was jailed last month for the murder of his 10-year-old daughter Sara Sharif, has been attacked in Belmarsh Prison.
He is understood to have suffered slashes to his face and body, requiring stitches.
He received local care inside prison.
A Prison Service spokesperson told Sky News: “Police are investigating an assault on a prisoner at HMP Belmarsh on 1 January.
“It would be inappropriate to comment further while they investigate.”
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said officers are probing “an allegation that a prisoner was assaulted at Belmarsh”, adding that “the 43-year-old suffered non life-threatening injuries”.
