US EditionPolice officer left with broken nose after Manchester Airport brawl tells court she was 'absolutely terrified'
ROCHDALE, GREATER MANCHESTER, JUL 10 – Amaaz faces multiple assault allegations including police officers and a civilian in Rochdale, with one officer reporting unprecedented violence during the incidents, police say.
- Brothers Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad stand trial accused of assaulting police officers Lydia Ward, Zachary Marsden, and Ellie Cook at Manchester Airport on July 23, 2024.
- The incident followed a fight at Starbucks where Amaaz is accused of headbutting Abdulkareem Ismaeil, and the defence claims Amaaz acted in self-defence due to perceived unlawful force by police.
- PC Ward, a small, unarmed officer, testified that she was struck directly in the face, resulting in a broken nose, and described feeling terrified during the violent incident at the parking area near Terminal 2.
- Jurors viewed body-cam footage showing PC Ward injured and sobbing, while prosecution detailed Amaaz throwing 10 punches, two elbows, and a kick, and Amaad six punches during the arrest attempt.
- Both defendants deny the allegations and argue their actions were self-defence, leaving the court to consider the violence's extent, police conduct, and the legitimacy of the defense claims.
