A 37-year-old chef, who claimed he had been badly injured on a Ryanair flight from Leeds to Dublin, was covertly recorded walking with and without the aid of a crutch, the Circuit Civil Court has been told.

Abdullah Qasim, who was rushed to Beaumont Hospital by a waiting ambulance after the flight landed at Dublin Airport, told Judge Sarah Berkeley that flight attendants had “crashed” a food and drinks trolley into his right knee injuring his leg, hips and lower back.
