Chief 'anxious to see progress' in airport violence CCTV case

THE head of Greater Manchester Police says he’s ‘anxious to see progress’ on investigations launched after violence was captured on CCTV at Manchester Airport.

Footage of a fracas at the airport went viral in July and appeared to show a GMP firearms officer kicking and stamping on the head of Fahir Amaaz, 19, as he and his brother Muhammed Amaad, 25, both from Rochdale, were restrained by officers in Terminal 2.

Further footage, obtained by the M.E.N., emerged days later which showed the immediate lead-up to the incident, including when two female police officers were hit to the ground before Mr Amaaz was incapacitated with a Taser stun gun.
