People can be heard shouting in the background of the footage as a man cop in uniform strikes a youngster with a taser before kicking and stomping on his head. Observers are told to "move back" while a female police seems to pull her own taser and point it at other people.
The 40-second video also features a headscarf-wearing woman watching over a small child. After telling the youngster to "get down" and kicking him as he falls to the ground, the male officer in question approaches the boy who is sitting on a seat a moment later.
Greater Manchester police responded by captioning a video that they discovered was making the rounds online, which showed its weapons officers attending to an incident at Manchester Airport. The statement was posted on X on Wednesday.
"Officers were called to reports of an altercation between members of the public in Terminal 2 at Manchester airport," a GMP spokeswoman stated.
Three cops were violently assaulted and punched to the ground while trying to apprehend one of the individuals from the previous confrontation. Three of the officers were transported to the hospital for treatment, one of them having a fractured nose.
There was a clear risk throughout this attack that the attending officers' guns would be stolen from them since they were firearms police.
Four persons have been taken into custody, and the police have reported the conduct of the officers to their internal standards section for additional examination.
