CCTV footage of alleged assault on police at Manchester Airport shown to jury
CCTV footage of the alleged assault of three police officers at Manchester Airport has been played to jurors.
Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, and his brother, Muhammad Amaad, 26, are said to have struck out after police were called to respond to an incident at the Starbucks cafe in Terminal 2 arrivals on 23 July last year, when Amaaz is alleged to have headbutted a customer.
Minutes later, three officers – PC Zachary Marsden and PC Ellie Cook, who were both armed, and unarmed PC Lydia Ward – approached the defendants at the paystation in T2’s car park.
On Monday (7 July), a jury at Liverpool Crown Court watched airport camera footage from opposite angles which captured what the Crown say was a “high level of violence” used by the defendants towards the officers.
Both men, from Rochdale, Greater Manchester, deny the allegations.
The trial continues on Tuesday.
