A jury at Liverpool Crown Court has been shown CCTV and police body-camera footage that prosecutors say captures a "high level of violence" by two brothers during an incident at Manchester Airport on 23 July 2024. The recordings depict Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, and his brother, Muhammad Amaad, 26, resisting arrest near a Terminal 2 car-park pay station minutes after Amaaz allegedly head-butted traveller Abdulkareem Ismaeil inside a Starbucks café. Prosecutors told jurors the video shows Amaaz throwing ten punches, including a blow that knocked unarmed officer PC Lydia Ward to the ground and broke her nose, while Amaad aimed six punches at armed officer PC Zachary Marsden. The footage also depicts kicks, elbow strikes and the deployment of a Taser by armed PC Ellie Cook as officers struggled to subdue the pair. Amaaz denies three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm against the officers and one count of assault against Ismaeil. Amaad denies one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Defence lawyers argue the brothers were acting in self-defence. The trial continues.
