Seven gardaí subdue suspect

A man with “superhuman” strength jumped through a reinforced window and later had to be restrained by seven gardaí who failed to subdue him with pepper spray and batons, a court has been told.

Theo Boake is accused of breaking into Pramerica, a technology company, and attacking its €300,000 server system with a fire extinguisher.

The student, 24, claims he did not know what he was doing and claims he is not guilty by reason of insanity.
