Brothers face retrial over Manchester airport brawl

Two brothers accused of assaulting a police officer at Manchester Airport will face a retrial in April.

Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, was found guilty on Wednesday of assaulting a member of the public and two female police officers during an incident which was filmed and later went viral on social media.

The jury at Liverpool Crown Court, who spent 10 hours deliberating, could not reach a verdict on allegations Amaaz and his brother Muhammad Amaad, 26, assaulted PC Zachary Marsden causing actual bodily harm.

At a hearing earlier, Judge Neil Flewitt KC set a retrial for 7 April next year, with the case estimated to last three to four weeks.

The court was told professional commitments of defence counsel meant the trial could not be heard before then.

A bail application for Amaaz, who was remanded in custody after the verdicts were returned, was adjourned until 26 August.

Mr Amaad, who was given unconditional bail, shook his brother’s hand before leaving the dock.
