The man who had his head kicked and stamped on by a Greater Manchester Police officer has a cyst on his brain, the family's lawyer has claimed.

Akhmed Yakoob, who is representing Fahir and Amaad, made the claim while addressing reporters after the Fahir's condition reportedly worsened overnight.

During his address outside Rochdale Police Station, the lawyer claimed a CT scan showed a cyst.
