No Second Retrial for Manchester Airport Assault Case
Two men accused of assaulting a police officer during a brawl at Manchester Airport will not be subjected to a second retrial.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) announced it will not pursue another hearing for Muhammad Amaad, 26, and Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 21, following two previous juries' inability to reach verdicts.
The defendants had denied charges of assaulting Greater Manchester Police Constable Zachary Marsden at the car park pay station area of terminal two on 23 July 2024.
Additionally, Mohammed Fahir Amaaz had been convicted by a separate jury of assaulting two female officers, PC Lydia Ward and PC Ellie Cook, as well as a Starbucks customer, during the same alleged incident.
