Shocking video has emerged of a police officer appearing to “stomp on a man’s head” after shocking him at an airport. The video was filmed yesterday by a bystander at Manchester Airport – who said he “froze” when he witnessed the incident. The traveler – who did not want to be named and who filmed the video – said: “I wanted the police to stop but I just froze – I was worried they would start shooting.” A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: “Officers were called to reports of an altercation between members of the public at Manchester Airport Terminal 2. “While trying to arrest one of the suspects from the previous altercation, three police officers were the target of a violent attack, where they were punched to the ground. “A police officer suffered a broken nose and all three were taken to hospital for treatment. “As the officers present were firearms officers, there was a clear risk during the attack that their weapons would be taken from them. “Four men were arrested at the scene for fighting and assaulting emergency service workers. We recognize the concerns about the conduct contained in the video and our Professional Standards Board is reviewing this.”
