The extraordinary footage showed a policeman violently kick and stamp on the head of a man who was face down with his hands behind his back on the floor after being tasered. In the clip, a woman could be seen watching on in horror.
The family of the men involved in an incident at Manchester Airport where an officer stamped on a man's head has contacted the police watchdog to file a complaint, their lawyer has said.
A Greater Manchester Police constable was advised he is under criminal investigation for assault over the incident, the Independent Office for Police Conduct said last week. Through their solicitor, Aamer Anwar, a high-profile Scottish human rights lawyer, they said the family and its legal representatives should have been 'provided with an opportunity to view footage before any politician'.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Mr Anwar said: 'I have now spoken to the IOPC with regards to lodging a formal complaint against officers from Greater Manchester Police.'

The video appeared to show a group of people standing by ticket machines in terminal two and a man in a light blue outfit facing one of the machines.
