Brothers accused of assaulting police at Manchester Airport will not face a retrial
المصدر: GB News | Source: GB NewsTwo brothers will not face a third trial on allegations they assaulted a police officer at Manchester Airport in July 2024, Liverpool Crown Court heard.
Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad were accused of using a "high level of violence” to cause actual bodily harm to Pc Zachary Marsden during the confrontation.
Footage of the incident went viral on social media.
Both men denied the charge.
TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour SayThey told the court they acted in self-defence or in each other's defence.
Last July, Amaaz was found guilty of assaulting Pc Lydia Ward and Pc Ellie Cook during the same incident on July 23.
A retrial was ordered last year after no verdict was reached against him or his brother on the Pc Marsden allegation.
The three Greater Manchester Police officers entered the Terminal 2 car park paystation after reports that a male fitting Amaaz’s description had headbutted a member of the public at a Starbucks cafe in the airport minutes earlier.
The prosecution said Amaaz resisted their attempts to take him outside and Amaad then intervened.
But the brothers, from Rochdale, Greater Manchester, said their actions were defensive rather than offensive as they said they came “under attack”.
