Airport Brawl: Brothers on Trial for Assaulting Cop

0:00On April 20, two brothers from Rochdale are in trial for allegedly assaulting a firearms officer at Manchester Airport back on July 23, 2024. Muhammad Fahir Ahmadz, who's 21, and Muhammad Ahmad, 26, denied causing actual bodily harm to PC Zachary Marsden during a chaotic arrest. In Terminal 2's Car Park, Marsden, a short-sighted armed cop, told Liverpool Crown Court he felt totally terrified when punches knocked off his glasses, leaving him blinded in. The fight. The trouble kicked off at a Starbucks in arrivals when Amaz reportedly headbutted a customer, prompting three officers to move in for an arrest. Marsden said they planned a routine two-point escort to control the suspect's arms and get him away from the crowd, approaching quietly for tactical. Surprise, since he was in uniform, Marsden described staying calm at first, but Amaz tensed up and resisted hard, with his brother jumping in to land what the officer called THE.

1:00Hardest punches he'd ever taken. Without his specs, Marsden couldn't see. Worried his glock pistol might get grabbed and focused on protecting his team instead of drawing in. He fired his taser at Amaz, and later kicked Amaz in the face after the guy went down from another officer's taser shot. Prosecutor's note, Amaz was already convicted last year for assaulting Marsden's two female colleagues who got a broken nose and knocked over. And that, original customer. The trial still rolling with more testimony ahead, shedding light on that viral airport clash and what really went down when tensions exploded.
