Footage shared on-line of a Better Manchester Police (GMP) firearms officer – who has since been suspended – confirmed him hanging a person twice as he lay inclined on the ground.
The pressure stated the officer’s actions had come after he and different colleagues have been “violently attacked” at about 20:30 BST on Tuesday.
GMP stated it had occurred after officers tried to arrest somebody within the airport’s Terminal 2 following a struggle.
BBC Confirm’s Richard Irvine-Brown analyses the footage.
