CCTV footage of two brothers allegedly assaulting three police officers at Manchester airport has been played to jurors.
Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, and Muhammad Amaad, 26, are alleged to have struck out after police were called to an incident at the Starbucks cafe in Terminal 2 on July 23 last year, when Mr Amaaz is said to have headbutted a customer.
Minutes later, three officers – Pc Zachary Marsden and Pc Ellie Cook, who were both armed, and unarmed Pc Lydia Ward – approached the defendants in the terminal car park.
On Monday, a jury at Liverpool Crown Court watched airport camera footage from opposite angles which captured what the prosecution says was a “high level of violence” used by the defendants towards the officers.
The prosecution says Mr Amaaz resisted as police tried to move him away from a payment machine to arrest him, and then Mr Amaad intervened.
