A recent video has surfaced, shedding more light on the shocking incident that occurred at Manchester Airport. The family of the man who was allegedly kicked in the head by a police officer at the airport has come forward to express their thoughts after the new footage emerged. The initial video, which captured the officer kicking the man while he was pinned to the ground, sparked outrage across the nation and resulted in protests in Manchester. However, this new video shows the events leading up to the altercation, providing a fuller picture of what happened.
The two men involved in the incident have been identified as brothers, Muhammad Fahir Amaaz and Amaad Amaaz. In the new video, one of the men can be seen being restrained by three officers before the situation escalates. The family's attorney, Akhmed Yakoob, who has since stepped down, previously stated that the family was left "traumatized" by the incident. Now, the family has shared their concerns and feelings towards the officers involved.
According to reports from the BBC, the family of Mr. Amaaz has expressed their concern for any police officers who may have been injured during the altercation. The incident has resulted in the suspension of the unnamed officer by the Greater Manchester Police, who have also referred the case to the Independent Office of Police Conduct for further investigation. Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, has called for calm and urged people not to rush to judgment, stating that the situation is "complicated" and there are "two sides to it."
The new footage, obtained by the Manchester Evening News, shows a group of people standing by the ticket machines in Terminal 2 before chaos ensues. Three officers can be seen approaching a man in a light blue outfit from behind and attempting to restrain him. However, a scuffle breaks out between a male officer and the man, leading to a physical altercation. Another male officer joins in and the situation escalates, with a female officer also getting involved. The video shows the male officer pointing a taser at the man before he is attacked from behind by the man in the light blue outfit.
During the altercation, one of the female officers suffered a broken nose and can be seen holding her nose in the aftermath of the incident. The family's lawyer, Akhmed Yakoob, initially stated that the officers should not have lost control and that there was no justification for kicking and stomping on a defenseless man. However, he has since stepped down as the family's representative, claiming that the widespread attention on the case was unfair to both the Greater Manchester Police and the family. He has recommended a new lawyer for the family and has decided to take a step back for now.
