Officer Involved in Airport Melee ‘Uncontrolled Bully with a Badge’, Jury Told
MANCHESTER AIRPORT, UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 25 – The brothers deny assault charges, claiming self-defence after police allegedly used excessive force including kicks and stamps during the arrest at Manchester Airport.
- On July 25 at Liverpool Crown Court, Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad enter closing speeches as they deny assaulting armed officers at Manchester Airport.
- Police responded to a headbutt report at Starbucks in Terminal 2 on July 23 last year, after which the brothers claim their mother was racially abused and injured in the melee.
- Mobile phone footage shows PC Zachary Marsden kicking Amaaz and aiming a stamp after Tasering, then officers fired additional Taser strikes and CCTV captures the brothers throwing multiple blows.
- Prosecutor Paul Greaney KC said Marsden’s kick and stamp were ‘irrelevant’ to deliberations, the officer was called ‘an uncontrolled bully with a badge’ in trial, and jurors will begin deliberations on Monday.
- Viral footage on social media has reignited scrutiny of armed policing tactics, as Imran Khan KC said police hold a ‘huge amount of power’ unlike other jobs, and the defence suggested officers were out of control from start to finish.
