Man guilty of assaulting two female police officers at Manchester Airport

A man has been found guilty of assaulting two female police officers at Manchester Airport last year.

Mohammed Fahir Amaaz punched PC Lydia Ward in the face, breaking her nose, and was today convicted of causing actual bodily harm.

The 20-year-old was also convicted of assaulting PC Ellie Cook and the earlier assault of a member of the public at an airport Starbucks.

The incident happened at a car park pay area on 23 July 2024.

The jury was unable to come to a decision on whether Amaaz and his brother, Muhammad Ahmed, assaulted a male police officer.

Police had been called after reports Amaaz had headbutted a man at the airport Starbucks. He told the jury the man had racially abused his mother aboard a flight.
