Oscar Pistorius rushed to hospital ‘after self-harming’ in prison

Disgraced athlete Oscar Pistorius has reportedly been rushed to hospital from prison.

The sprinter is currently serving six years for murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

He was rushed to Kalafon Hospital in Pretoria yesterday, where he is reportedly being treated for injuries to his wrists.

Prison authorities said the Paralympic gold medalist injured himself after falling out of bed.

Singabakho Nxumalo, a spokesman for the correctional services department, said Sunday that Pistorius told officials that he suffered injuries after falling out of bed.

Pistorius has denied the injuries were the result of a suicide attempt.
