Greater Manchester Police (GMP) has suspended an officer following the release of a video that captured a violent incident at Manchester Airport. The footage, which quickly spread online, shows a uniformed officer holding a Taser and kicking a man who was lying on the ground, followed by stamping on his head. The incident occurred on Tuesday.
The decision to suspend the officer came after a “thorough review of further information” related to the incident, according to GMP. The video has sparked significant public outcry and led to a protest outside Rochdale Police Station.
