A book of evidence was served on a man facing charges in relation to the investigation of a wheelchair-bound man being dragged to the ground, robbed and left injured outside Mercy University Hospital in the middle of the afternoon.

Sergeant Pat Lyons confirmed that Connie Foley had been served with the book of evidence. Judge Olann Kelleher then sent the case back to the present sessions of Cork Circuit Criminal Court.
