Three officers were taken to hospital, including two with stab wounds.
He is also accused of throwing boiling liquid.
He appeared at Woolwich crown court on videolink from high-security Belmarsh yesterday.
The fiend got life for helping his suicide bomber brother Salman Abedi kill 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert in 2017.
He will next appear at the Old Bailey on October 17.
Last month, The Sun revealed that Abedi had won back prison privileges as a reward for “good behaviour” — including a TV package.
He had his regime raised from “basic” to “standard”.
The thug will also have more cash for phone credit and can use the gym again.
Abedi was moved to Belmarsh and has been barred from contacting under-18s amid fears he could try to radicalise teens from jail.
In May this year, The Sun also revealed Abedi had been granted more than £1,200 in taxpayers’ cash to launch an equal rights case in jail.
The sum went to his lawyers for a complaint of religious discrimination.
It has been added to a huge legal aid bill to fund his trial defence — even though he refused to take part in the court process.
Figures disclosed under a Freedom of Information request show the total now stands at £354,015.
