SuppliedA police officer has been suspended after a video emerged showing a man being kicked and stamped on.
The footage is said to have been filmed at Manchester Airport’s Terminal Two on Tuesday and appears to show an officer, with a taser in his hand, kicking and then stamping on the head of a man who is lying face down on the floor, with a woman kneeling beside him.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed on Thursday morning that an officer has been suspended from all duties following a “thorough review of further information” regarding the incident.
Police said three of their officers had been assaulted, including a female constable who suffered a broken nose, and four men were arrested for affray and assaulting emergency service workers.
SuppliedRochdale MP Paul Waugh said he was due to meet with the family involved.
On Thursday morning, Mr Waugh said: “The police have said that while trying to arrest a suspect, three of their officers were attacked.
“They said that one officer suffered a broken nose and all three needed hospital treatment.
“Our armed police face a very difficult job every day, and will themselves expect the highest standards of conduct from their officers in carrying out that vital duty to protect all of us.
“It’s important that both the investigation by the police and the investigation into the police conduct now gather the full facts.”
