A MAN was jailed for five years for an attack "of inhumanity bordering on depravity" in which he dragged an amputee out of his wheelchair as he went for a Covid-19 test during an attempted robbery. Mr O’Leary said that the events of that day had "utterly destroyed" his life. Mr O'Leary said that he asked God to forgive his attacker because he couldn't find it within himself to do so. Foley went to grab the wallet of the injured party who was physically dragged from his wheelchair onto the pavement. Mr O'Leary had to be helped back into his wheelchair by a passing motorist and by staff at Penny Dinners soup kitchen.
