A video circulating online shows officers using force during the arrest of a man at Manchester Airport's bus terminal, prompting concerns and a review by Greater Manchester Police.
Two officers were allegedly punched to the ground in the July 23 fight which saw passenger Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 19, kicked in the head as he and his brother Muhammad Amaad, 25, were restrained. The two brothers have now been charged over the airport chaos this summer, but the two cops probed over the same incident will not face charges. Yesterday's footage shows an officer appearing to punch the man four times and kick him twice to the stomach area.
The officers are understood to have been called to reports of a 'drunk and disorderly' man at a bus station outside the airport after he was refused entry on to public transport.One officer arrived at the scene and is said to have attempted to arrest the man, before colleagues came in to assist. A scuffle ensued, before the footage shows one cop holding the man's head, a second pinning down his feet and a third kneeling on top of him.A GMP spokesperson said: 'We are currently reviewing a video published online showing the arrest of a man at Manchester Airport’s bus terminal yesterday afternoon.We understand the concerns around the use of force shown on the clip and our professional standards unit is assessing all available footage including the officers’ body worn cameras and CCTV.'Two brothers charged over Manchester Airport brawl chaos that sparked protests after man ‘kicked in face’ It comes five months after shocking footage emerged from the same airport showing a fight in which two officers were punched to the ground. Passenger Amaaz, 19, was kicked in the head as he and his brother Amaad, 25, were restrained, it was said.Amaaz, now 20, is accused of two offences of causing actual bodily harm, one charge of assaulting an emergency worker and one charge of common assault.
