Charles Bronson ‘covered himself in butter to rumble with prison guards after getting angry at not seeing wife on Valentine’s Day’
Armed robber Bronson was reportedly tackled to the ground by 12 prison guards after stripping off and buttering up
BRITAIN's most violent prisoner Charles Bronson was injured in a Valentine's Day "rumble" with guards after smearing butter on himself, it has been reported.
The Lurpak-loving lag, 65, is said to have been angered after he was told he could not see his wife Paula, 37, to give her a romantic card.
In an attempt to make it harder to pin him down, armed robber Bronson stripped off and buttered up before challenging staff at HMP Frankland, according to the Mirror.
This is not the first time the con used the slippery tactic, but on this occasion he was reportedly wrestled to the ground and restrained by guards, injuring his right shoulder.
A source told the paper: “He was wanting a rumble but he ended up being the only one who got hurt – not like the old days.
“He was in the exercise yard on segregation wing with three other cons in the cage training to next to his.
“He pulled out half a pound of butter and took his clothes off and shouted and smiled to the officer in charge, ‘Oi Gov, you’d better ring your mates as there’s gonna be a bit of a rumble’. He then started spreading the butter all over him.
“He started warming up and was smiling when 12 guards with shields, protective clothing and batons ran to the scene.
“There was lots of ducking and diving but the guards got control of Charlie before he could do any damage. He was restrained on the floor and then sent back to his cell.”
The incident is understood to have happened after Bronson was moved from HMP Wakefield in January for attacking a deputy governor in a spat about his wedding photos.
In 2014, Bronson buttered his body to take on 12 officers at Full Sutton jail in York after becoming upset at Arsenal winning the FA cup.
The violent criminal planned to tie the knot with Paula Williamson on her birthday in August last year– but had to wait for confirmation of a date for their ceremony from the authorities.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Paula revealed that they would be married "sooner rather than later" in the prison chapel, where they would be allowed 10 guests who would be a mixture of her friends and family and his.
The couple were granted permission to wed in a service that took place on November 14.
