A police officer has been filmed kicking and stamping on the head of a man lying on the ground at Manchester Airport.

The uniformed male officer is seen holding a Taser over the man, who is lying face down, before striking him twice while other officers shout at onlookers to stay back in a video shared widely online.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said firearms officers had been attacked while attempting to arrest someone following a fight in the airport’s Terminal 2 on Tuesday. It said it had referred itself to the police watchdog.

Anger has grown over the video and a crowd of what appeared to be several hundred people protested outside the police station in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, on Wednesday evening.

    The cop literally noticed the pot and told her to go move it because he didn’t want to deal with a fire when he was there.

    She didn’t go to it until she was told to go move it off the flame.

          And she does so… And then she gets down on the floor… All of that seems good. It’s the part where she reaches back up for the water from the floor, whilst staring directly at the cio that just warned her she would be shit if she tried to harm them
