A police constable has been suspended after a video appears to show him kick and stamp a man on his head at Manchester Airport in terminal two on Tuesday as he was lying down on the floor face down in a brutal attack.
Manchester Evening News reported that protesters let off fireworks and a person told the gathers crowd outside the police station, 'We're no longer going to settle for this police brutality. We put our trust in the police and what do they do instead they inflict violence upon us when we surrender to them.'
Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham said, 'I have seen the disturbing video footage circulating of a GMP officer at Manchester Airport and recognize the widespread and deep concern this has caused in Greater Manchester and beyond.'
Home Office minister Dame Diana Johnson posted on X, 'I am aware of disturbing footage from an incident at Manchester Airport this afternoon and understand the public concern it has prompted.'
