Manchester Airport trial LIVE: Jury deliver verdict in police attack case

A man has been found guilty of assaulting two female police officers at Manchester Airport last year. Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, was convicted of assaulting two female police officers during a fracas near Terminal 2 in the airport on July 23, 2024. He was also found guilty of an earlier assault of a member of the public at a Starbucks cafe near T2.

After 10 hours of deliberations, a jury at Liverpool Crown Court was unable to reach verdicts on allegations that Amaaz and his brother, Muhammad Ahmed, 26, also assaulted a male officer causing actual bodily harm in the same incident. The defence argues that both men were acting in self-defence after being grabbed without warning.
