'Auschwitz thief' hurt

The neo-Nazi accused of stealing the Auschwitz death camp sign has been attacked in jail by an inmate with a syringe.

Anders Hogstrom claims a prisoner tried to kill him with a jab that left his body covered in blisters.

He said: "My personality has changed due to what was injected into me. I got blisters, sweating, nausea, vomiting."

Swede Hogstrom is on remand in Poland while being quizzed over the theft of the Arbeit Macht Frei sign last December.
