THIS is the moment two brothers brawled with cops in Manchester Airport after one headbutted a passenger in Starbucks, a court heard.
Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, and Muhammad Amaad, 26, allegedly lashed out at three officers – leaving one with a broken nose.
Jurors heard cops had been scrambled to deal with the pair following an at a Starbucks in the airport.
Footage played to the previously showed Amaaz headbutting passenger Abdulkareem Ismaeil in the cafe and punching him on July 23.
Further video played to jurors today showed the alleged “high level of violence”; displayed to the police officers.
PC Zachary Marsden and PC Ellie Cook – both armed – and PC Lydia Ward, who was unarmed, could be seen approaching the brothers in the car park of Terminal 2.
Amaaz resisted as police tried to move him away from a payment machine to arrest him before Amaad intervened.
The court heard Amaaz threw ten punches – including one to PC Ward’s face that sent her crashing to the ground with blood pouring from her nose.
He is also said to have kicked PC Marsden and twice struck firearms officer PC Cook with his elbow.
Both Amaaz and PC Marsden then fell to the ground before the officer gets up and appears to “stamp”; his foot towards Amaaz’s head, it is alleged.
Junior counsel Adam Birkby said the cop “doesn’t appear to connect with Mr Amaaz”;.
As the brawl continues, the police officers get their Tasers out before managing to handcuff the brothers with the help of other cops.
At one point, PC Ward could be seen appearing to cry as she holds her nose.
The court heard previously that the brothers had gone to meet their mum at the airport on July 23.
She had allegedly been involved in some sort of incident Abdulkareem either on their flight or shortly after it.
As the brothers passed by the Starbucks, the mum pointed out Abdulkareem to her sons as he sat with his wife and children in the cafe.
Prosecutor Paul Greaney KC said: “At just after 8.20pm, the defendants entered Starbucks and confronted Abdulkareem Ismaeil.
“During that confrontation, Mohammed Fahir Amaaz delivered a headbutt to the face of Abdulkareem Ismaeil and punched him, then attempted to deliver other blows, all in front of a number of children.
“The prosecution case is that this was obviously unlawful conduct.”;
Jurors heard PC Marsden suffered “post-concussion syndrome”; and was left with a “severe headache”; for three days, dizziness, forgetfulness and bruising and swelling.
PC Ward was left with a broken nose and needed surgery under general anaesthetic, it was said.
The court was told both Amaaz and Amaad have claimed they acted in self-defence.
Amaaz denies assaulting PC Marsden and PC Ward, causing them actual bodily harm.
He is also accused of the assault of PC Cook and the earlier assault of Abdulkareem Ismaeil at Starbucks.
Amaad has pleaded not guilty to assaulting PC Marsden, causing actual bodily harm.
