New footage from inside Greater Manchester Airport showed the chaotic moments before a police officer was caught on camera kicking a man in the head.

The footage shared previously showed the officer kicking and stamping on a man’s head as he lay on the ground.

Now, the new footage obtained by Manchester Evening News captured the violent scenes between the people involved in the incident and police officers before this moment.

At the beginning, a group of people can be seen standing around a ticket machine inside a car park at Terminal 2.

Three police officers then appear to walk through the group of people towards a man – dressed in light blue – who is facing the machine.

One officer appears to grab the man’s hands in a bid to restrain him.

The male officer then pushes the man’s head down as his two female colleagues stand beside him. Several people from the group then walk over.

One man grabs the male officer in an attempt to free the man who had been detained.

Punches then appear to be thrown by the officer and the man.

The man repeatedly throws punches at the male officer, who has lowered to the ground.

Meanwhile, the man – dressed in light blue – who had originally been detained appears to break free from the female officer.

He then throws several punches towards the female officers, with the video showing both women receiving blows to the head and face. At one point, one of the female officers is punched to the ground.

The male officer holds his taser towards the man, who appears to punch him.

The second man then ran at the officer from behind, throwing several punches towards him as he continued to hold his taser into the air.

He grapples the officer to the ground before turning over onto his stomach and lying face down. A woman then knelt down next to him.

The officer then stood up and pointed his taser towards the man.

As seen in the first video, the officer kicked and stamped on his head as he lay on the ground.

The Greater Manchester Airport incident has sparked protests in Rochdale and Manchester city centre.

The officer seen in the video has been suspended and The Independent Office for Police Conduct said he is under criminal investigation for assault. The IOPC stressed it doesn’t necessarily mean criminal charges will follow.

But the watchdog confirmed that after the conclusion of its investigation, a decision would be made over whether to refer the case to the Crown Prosecution Service.
