Police assault of Muslim men in Manchester Airport sparks outrage

The police force in Manchester is facing criticism and accusations of racism and Islamophobia after a video circulated online of a Muslim man being kicked and stamped on the head at Manchester Airport. The video showed an officer from Greater Manchester Police kicking and stamping on a man's head during an arrest, leading to a protest outside a police station in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. Police suspended one of the officers involved and referred the actions to an independent police complaints watchdog after the video, filmed by an onlooker on Tuesday evening and posted on social media platforms shortly after.
