West, jailed for life in 1995 for murdering ten girls and women with husband Fred at their home, has now been disciplined by jail bosses and stripped of her privileges.
A source said: “Rose looks like a frail pensioner, but she is still extremely dangerous — as this attack shows.
“She befriended a young girl, in her 20s, and basically groomed her before the attack.
“The whole prison is talking about it and inmates are shocked, despite what they might have done themselves.

“It wasn’t clear if West was caught in the act of attacking her or if her victim reported her.
“But guards were on the scene pretty quickly and West was taken from her cell and put in front of a governor.
“She has barely been allowed out of her cell since.”
The source added: “It is pretty disgusting she had the freedom to do something like this in the first place.
“Her victim is vulnerable and West took advantage of her before trying to force herself on her.
“West has form for trying to make friends with young girls in there. She offers them help with things like cooking and sewing.”
We told last year that West, now overweight with grey hair but still wearing distinctive thick-rimmed glasses, pushed Christmas cards under inmates’ doors in December in a desperate bid to win friends.
The killer, who changed her name to Jennifer Jones by deed poll in 2020, is serving a whole-life term at New Hall prison near Wakefield, West Yorks.
Husband Fred, who buried several victims at their home in Cromwell Street, Gloucester, killed himself aged 53 while awaiting trial in 1995.
Their horrific crimes were detailed last year in Netflix docuseries Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story.
West is held in a special section of the prison.
Other women on the unit, designed to create a “psychologically informed environment”, can tend to chickens and can roam the manicured grounds. They can also take part in yoga and knitting classes and attend film nights.
West has now lost privileges she enjoys as an “enhanced” prisoner.
They include extra cash to spend in the jail canteen, TV and DVD rights, access to workshops and time out of her cell.

Our source added: “She still went before a governor for an adjudication where she was found guilty.”
