Greater Manchester Police submit file of evidence in airport inquiry

The force said: “GMP major incident team investigators, led by a highly experienced senior investigating officer, have been thoroughly investigating the incident.

“A separate and independent investigation into our officers’ actions by the Independent Office for Police Conduct remains ongoing.”

Widely shared footage led to various protests in Rochdale and Manchester city centre.

Lawyers for Mr Fahir Amaaz’s family have since made several allegations of mistreatment.

GMP previously said its firearms officers were subject to a “violent” attack while trying to make an arrest at Terminal 2 and there was a risk their weapons could be taken from them.

A further video later emerged showing the build up to the kicking incident involved a fight in which officers were punched to the ground.
