British Cop Kicks A Muslim In The Head At Manchester Airport After Several Cops Were Assaulted

A video appears to show an armed Greater Manchester Police officer kicking a detained man in the head before stamping on him as he is Tasered on the ground.

The incident, which happened at Manchester Airport earlier this afternoon, shows several officers shouting at the public to stay back after they were called to reports of an altercation at Terminal 2.

While the holidaymaker, believed to be a young man, is lying with his hands behind his back, a policeman appears to violently kick his face before stamping on his head.

At the same time, at least one taser is deployed against the man.

A woman, believed to be a family member, watched on in horror as the man was detained, and tried to pull his head away from officers after the stamp.

Greater Manchester Police said the footage was filmed after multiple officers were assaulted leaving one with a broken nose.

Footage shows the woman was pushed away by officers, who also detained a second man who had been sat on a chair nearby.

The second man appeared to be kicked and hit as he was knocked to the ground by the same male officer.

The witness who filmed the footage, Amar Rafiq, was returning to Manchester from Qatar when he saw the incident unfold in front of him.

He told MailOnline: 'I was just gobsmacked. The police [officer] just kicked the guy in the face.
