It is Mr Bowe’s case that, arising from injuries allegedly sustained in the incident, he was diagnosed with functional neurological disorder, causing him to suffer with fatigue, tremors and other symptoms. Mr Bowe is seeking damages for the alleged injuries suffered. A civil trial into Mr Bowe’s case opened this week before Mr Justice Micheál O’Higgins and a jury at the High Court. After some time – about 10 and 15 minutes, said Mr Bowe’s side – Mr Bowe said he stopped his car and proceeded to run through a field. On seeing the flashlights of pursuing gardaí, Mr Bowe said he put his hands up, remained on his knees, and said “you have me”.
