A man, Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, has been found guilty of attacking two female police officers during a violent disturbance at Manchester Airport.
The incident occurred on July 23, 2023, and was widely shared on social media. Amaaz was charged with assaulting two Greater Manchester Police officers during the fracas.
After a three-week trial at Liverpool Crown Court, Amaaz was convicted of assaulting PC Lydia Ward, causing actual bodily harm, and assaulting emergency worker PC Ellie Cook.
However, the jury was unable to reach verdicts on allegations that Amaaz and his brother, Muhammad Ahmed, 26, assaulted PC Zachary Marsden causing actual bodily harm.
In addition to the assault on the police officers, Amaaz was also found guilty of an earlier assault of a member of the public, Abdulkareem Ismaeil, at the airport.
