“Absolutely Horrific” Officer ‘Removed From Operational Duties’ After Video Of Man Being Kicked

A video appearing to show a police officer kicking a man as he lies on the floor is being “assessed” by professional standards, a force has said.

The footage, shared on social media, is said to have been filmed at Manchester Airport’s Terminal Two on Tuesday and shows the officer, with a Taser in his hand, appearing to kick and then stamp on the head of a man who is lying face down on the floor, with a woman kneeling beside him.

A second man also appears to be struck by the officer.

Greater Manchester Police acknowledged concerns about “conduct within the video” and said firearms officers had been responding to reports of an altercation between members of the public.

Talk’s Kevin O’Sullivan discusses the story with former detective superintendent at Scotland Yard Shabnam Chaudhri.
