TWO prison guards were injured during a disturbance at Littlehey Prison in Huntingdon last night.
The guards, believed to be a man and a woman, were both treated at the prison for minor injuries after the incident, which broke out at 5pm at the Youth Offending Unit.
It took four and a half hours, and specialist prison officers in riot gear to resolve the incident.
It is thought trouble broke out after four or five prisoners refused to return to their cells.
