A police officer has denied he “lost control” in the aftermath of being allegedly assaulted by two brothers at Manchester Airport.
Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, and Muhammad Amaad, 26, are said to have struck out after police were called to a reported assault at the Starbucks cafe in Terminal 2 arrivals on July 23 last year, when Mr Amaaz is said to have headbutted a customer.
Jurors at Liverpool Crown Court were shown a photograph of injuries to the face of the defendants’ mother, said to have been caused as PC Zachary Marsden attempted to arrest Mr Amaaz at the terminal car park.
PC Marsden said it was “unclear” if his actions caused her injuries. The Greater Manchester Police officer said: “I believe I was not the only person who made contact with Mrs Akhtar.”
