The UK's police watchdog has recently launched an investigation into a concerning incident that took place at an international airport. According to reports from the BBC, a video has been circulating showing a male police officer holding a Taser and stomping on a man's head as he lay on the ground. The footage also captures other officers urging bystanders to stay away from the scene, a clear indication of the severity of the situation.
This disturbing event took place at Manchester Airport in north-west England on Tuesday, causing shock and concern among witnesses. The Greater Manchester Police stated that the officers involved were responding to reports of a fight in the airport's terminal two when they were attacked. As a result, one of the officers has been relieved of their duties, as confirmed by the police force.
The situation unfolded when the police received a call about a brawl at the airport. Upon arriving, three officers were violently assaulted and pushed to the ground while attempting to arrest one of the suspects. It was explained that since the officers were carrying firearms, there was a high risk of their weapons being taken from them during the attack.
Unfortunately, the officers needed medical attention after the altercation, with one female officer suffering a broken nose. Four men were ultimately arrested and charged with assault and obstructing police. In light of these events, the Greater Manchester Police took the responsible step of referring themselves to the Independent Office of Police Conduct for further investigation. In the meantime, one officer has been removed from their duties.
Assistant Chief Constable Wasim Chaudhry expressed his understanding of the public's alarm and concern over the circulating footage. He acknowledged the shocking nature of the incident and assured the public that the use of such force during an arrest is not a common occurrence. The authorities are taking this matter seriously and are committed to getting to the bottom of what happened at the airport.
