Manchester Airport police incident – latest: Man who was stamped on has cyst on brain, says solicitor

A man whose head was stamped on by a police officer has a cyst on his brain, his family’s lawyer has said.

The officer has been suspended from duty after a video emerged appearing to show Mohammed Fahir, 19, being kicked in the head on the floor at Manchester Airport .

The events prompted angry protests for a second night on Thursday, with roads and tram lines blocked in Manchester city centre.

Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham’s office as part of a Stand Up To Racism demonstration, chanting slogans such as “No justice, no peace, no racist police”.

The family at the centre of the controversy have been left “traumatised”, said their local MP Paul Waugh, the Labour MP for Rochdale .

Police said three officers had been assaulted at the airport, including a female PC who suffered a broken nose, and four men were arrested.

Watchdog the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is now investigating.
