Shocking video has emerged of a group of officers seeming to kick two detained men in Manchester Airport.
The footage has been widely shared on social media, and shows two officers assaulting the detained boy after tasering him.
The video was captioned: ‘Can’t see how you can justify kicking someone in the face and head when they are laying on floor being tasered and he seemed compliant.
‘Some context is required as to what was going on here.’
Greater Manchester Police said they will be releasing a statement shortly.
At one point in the video, the man in blue appeared to be lying down and being compliant when the officer forced him down by putting his knee into his back.
Those around the scene were heard shouting.
The shocking footage comes just days after a scathing report investigating Greater Manchester Police found that several women had been unlawfully arrested and strip searched.
The review, commissioned by city mayor Andy Burnham, saw Dame Vera Baird interview 15 women and men who had complained about the way they had been treated by the force.
The mayor ordered the report following a major Sky News investigation, published last summer, which detailed horrific allegations against Greater Manchester Police (GMP).
Maria*, a victim of domestic abuse, was strip searched after a vape fell from her trouser pocket while being arrested, with the custody officer accusing her of ‘concealing’ items.
Before her arrest, when she was perfectly free to leave, she was prevented from leaving the police yard by an officer who pulled her back in.
When picking up herbag from the ground, crying helplessly, the officer marched up to her and wrenched the bag from her, yelling ‘I’ve just been told that you’re a problem drinker’ – a moment described by Dame Vera as ‘nasty’.
