An armed police officer who kicked a suspect in the head during an alleged brawl at Manchester Airport was 'an uncontrolled bully with a badge', a court was told today.
Police Constable Zachary Marsden had 'defied protocol, ethics, procedure and the law' in the confrontation at the pay station area of Terminal Two at Manchester Airport last July, the jury heard.
The trial at Liverpool Crown Court has heard PC Marsden - along with PCs Ellie Cook and Lydia Ward - were involved in the fracas with brothers Mohammed Amaaz, 20, and Muhammed Amaad, 26.
The brothers are on trial accused of assaulting the three police officers after they tried to arrest Amaaz.
The violent clash was sparked when the officers moved to detain Mr Amaaz for an earlier assault on a man at the Starbucks café inside the terminal, the jury has been told.
