Manchester Airport: Charges over fight with police caught on CCTV

Two men have been charged over a fight with police at Manchester Airport which happened before an officer was filmed stamping on a suspect’s head.

Brothers Mohammed Amaaz, 20, and Muhammed Amaad, 25, have been charged with assaulting police officers, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said.

No charges are being brought against any police officers involved in the incident in July, it added.

Mr Amaaz and Mr Amaad, of Rochdale, will appear at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court on 16 January.

Social media footage emerged on 23 July, which showed a police officer kicking a man in the head as he lay on the ground.

CCTV footage, later obtained by the Manchester Evening News, showed the lead-up to the incident.

Three Greater Manchester Police officers are shown restraining a man at a car park ticketing machine before a fight ensues.

The footage shows punches being thrown and a police officer tasering a man and another officer stamping on the man’s head.
