{{British police are investigating claims that one of the two chief suspects in a brutal suspected Islamist attack, against a British soldier on a London street, was assaulted in prison.}}<\/p>\n
British media reported that Michael Adebolajo, 28, had his two front teeth knocked out during Wednesday\u2019s alleged fracas.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe police are investigating an incident that took place at HMP Belmarsh on 17 July,\u201d said a Prison Service spokesman.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be inappropriate to comment while the investigation was ongoing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adebolajo and co-accused, Michael Adebowale, 22, are due to face trial in November over the horrific knife attack that claimed the life of Fusilier Lee Rigby in Woolwich on May 22.<\/p>\n
Rigby was hacked to death in broad daylight before Adebolajo delivered an Islamist tirade to passers-by.<\/p>\n
British Prime Minister David Cameron joined thousands of mourners last week at the soldier\u2019s funeral.<\/p>\n
Cameron gathered with some 800 of Rigby\u2019s family members and colleagues for the private military funeral at a church in Bury, near Manchester in northwest England.<\/p>\n
Thousands of members of the public lined the surrounding streets.<\/p>\n
The killing stunned Britain and sparked a rise in community tensions. Several mosques have been attacked while the far-right British National Party and English Defence league have held a string of anti-Islamic rallies.<\/p>\n
