A 19-year-old teenager is traumatized and receiving hospital treatment after being kicked in the face by a police officer at Manchester airport. The incident, captured on video, led to the officer's suspension and an investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
The teenager's solicitor stated that the family is traumatized and afraid of the police following the incident. He mentioned the teenager's deteriorating health, including the discovery of a cyst on his brain, and emphasized the need for justice and to prevent such incidents from reoccurring.
Greater Manchester mayor, Andy Burnham, responded to the incident mentioning tensions and the involvement of racism as suggested by a former senior Metropolitan police officer. Burnham emphasized the complexity of the situation and highlighted unreleased footage leading up to the arrest.
