Brian Walshe, the Massachusetts man accused of dismembering his wife , was attacked in jail on Thursday, weeks ahead of his murder trial.

Walshe was assaulted inside a housing unit at a correctional center in Dedham just before 10 p.m. The Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office didn't identify Walshe as the victim, but his lawyer, Larry Tipton, confirmed to Masslive.com that Walshe was stabbed.

Walshe was taken to the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston for treatment and returned to the jail overnight, the sheriff's office said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
