The extraordinary footage showed a policeman violently kick and stamp on the head of a man who was face down with his hands behind his back on the floor after being tasered. In the clip, a woman could be seen watching on in horror.
Shocking CCTV footage from Manchester Airport last night revealed that three police officers were 'viciously' attacked in the moments before one of them kicked a teenager in the head.
Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham last night described the incident as 'a complicated situation with two sides to it', adding: 'It is why I urged people not to rush to judgement.' Greater Manchester Police was plunged into crisis last week after several videos of the violence, recorded on mobile phones by onlookers, were posted online.
Tensions were raised further when Akhmed Yakoob, a controversial lawyer representing the two men, claimed that the incident had been an 'attempted assassination'. Until last night, little has been known about what happened in the moments leading up to the events captured by other passengers on their mobile phones – or how things escalated.
Words are said to have been exchanged between their mother and a male passenger on board the flight, which landed at 7.20pm.

The second female officer, who has red hair and is seen in the mobile phone footage apparently dazed and holding her head, suffered a broken nose. By this point the male officer had got back to his feet and was aiming his Taser at Amaad. Fahir, however, is shown charging into the back of the male officer, punching him in the head before grabbing him around the neck.It is claimed the male officer suffered a suspected broken jaw and may also have been temporarily knocked out.
Sources also fear that the officers involved could be forced into hiding – in a disturbing echo of an incident in 2021 when a religious studies teacher at Batley Grammar School in West Yorkshire was forced to leave his home after showing a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad in class.
