US EditionJury shown CCTV and bodycam footage of brothers allegedly assaulting police at Manchester Airport
MANCHESTER AIRPORT, JUL 7 – Two brothers allegedly used a high level of violence against police officers responding to a headbutt incident at Manchester Airport, with one officer suffering a broken nose, court heard.
- On July 23 last year at Manchester Airport Terminal 2 arrivals, brothers Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, and Muhammad Amaad, 26, allegedly assaulted police officers and a customer at a Starbucks café.
- The confrontation followed an incident involving the brothers' mother and another passenger, and the police were called to intervene during the brothers' attempt to pick up their mother.
- Court footage shows Amaaz throwing about 10 punches, including one knocking PC Lydia Ward to the floor, and PC Marsden responding with a kick, after which he was assaulted from multiple directions.
- PC Marsden recalled that his first concern was a potential attempt to seize his firearm, which would have represented a serious danger to those nearby. He described the punches he received as the most forceful he had ever experienced, and mentioned feeling surrounded by a hostile crowd with poor radio signal.
- Both brothers deny the allegations, and the trial at Liverpool Crown Court continues with PC Marsden scheduled for cross-examination, indicating ongoing legal proceedings.
