Final-year student Taylor’s submission to the Tribunal of Enquiry into the events of 7th May offers some detail on the various scuffles that broke out between demonstrators, chemists, and the police, in the wake of the disruption of Dr Inch’s lecture to the student Chemical Society; Taylor claims that Dr Bowden damaged his hearing by treading on his ear (while Taylor was seated with the other demonstrators blocking the corridor between Dr Inch and the police); he further claims to have grabbed Bowden’s ankle in retaliation, and tried to remove one of his shoes
