108 Days On, No Charges for Assault on Manchester Airport Cops
It’s been over three months since three police officers were viciously attacked at Manchester Airport — yet no one has been charged. The shocking delay has sparked outrage and mounting pressure on the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper to explain the hold-up.
Brutal July Brawl Leaves Officers Injured
The violent incident unfolded on July 24, when officers responding at the airport were assaulted, leaving them with injuries. Details of the attack remain sketchy, but the long wait for justice is fuelling public anger.
Police Unions Demand Swift Justice
Police union chiefs have slammed the delay, calling for transparency and accountability. “This case sends a worrying message to officers on the frontline who risk their lives daily,” a spokesperson stated. “It’s crucial those who assault our police are held accountable without needless delay.”
CPS Sticks to Evidence Review as Pressure Mounts
The CPS insists it is still reviewing evidence before making a charging decision, while the Home Office promises continued support for officers and a commitment to justice. But with no timetable in sight, police forces and the public are growing impatient, demanding a clear update on the stalled investigation.
Until charges are laid, the simmering tension over this case looks set to continue.
