Manchester Evening News.Two men have been charged over a fight with police at Manchester Airport that was filmed before an officer stamped on the suspect’s head.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said brothers Mohammed Amaz, 20, and Mohammed Amad, 25, have been charged with assaulting police officers.
He added that no charges are being laid against any police officer involved in the July incident.
Mr Amaz and Mr Imad, from Rochdale, will appear at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court on January 16.
Social media footage emerged on July 23, showing a police officer kicking a man in the head as he lay on the ground.
CCTV footage, later obtained by the Manchester Evening News, showed the lead up to the incident.
Three Greater Manchester Police officers are shown stopping a man at a car park ticketing machine before a fight broke out.
The footage shows punches being thrown and one police officer tasering a man and another officer stamping on the man’s head.
The CPS said it had examined the evidence, reviewed “expert opinion” and taken into account police training “no charges should be brought against any officer”.
The two police officers are still under investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) watchdog after GMP conducted its own inquiry.
One officer was suspended but GMP Chief Constable Stephen Watson said he was now lifting the suspension.
He said he welcomed the CPS’s “decision not to take any further criminal action against serving officers”.
“The investigation into IOPC’s misconduct is ongoing and we will continue to cooperate fully in this regard.”
He added: “I know these matters have understandably generated a great deal of debate, scrutiny and speculation.”
