Thug who brawled with cops in Manchester Airport GUILTY of assault after chaos sparked nationwide protests Cops were coming to arrest yobs for earlier assault when they were set upon.

A THUG who brawled with police in Manchester Airport before pinning the blame on cops have been found guilty of assault.

Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, and Muhammad Amaad, 26, sparked nationwide protests after claiming they were attacked by the officers.

Two of the officers were also probed by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) and faced criminal charges.

But during their trial, it was alleged the brothers had actually lashed out at police when they were called to deal with an earlier altercation.

Amaaz was captured on CCTV headbutting passenger Abdulkareem Ismaeil in the cafe and punching him in a Starbucks.

When PC Zachary Marsden, PC Ellie Cook and PC Lydia Ward approached the brothers in the car park of Terminal 2, Amaaz and Amaad were accused of displaying a “high level of violence”.
