A Police chief has thanked the public for backing officers brutally assaulted in a brawl at Manchester Airport after a student was convicted over the attack.
One of two brothers accused of raining down blows during the incident was found guilty on Wednesday of assaulting two female police officers.
The case gained national attention after shocking footage of a policeman kicking a teenage suspect in the head as he lay prone on the ground was viewed millions of times.
But days later leaked CCTV of the moments before showed how Mohammed Fahir Amaaz had fought and grappled with the officer and two female colleagues.
On Wednesday, after a four-week trial in Liverpool, Amaaz - now 20 - was convicted of assaulting PC Lydia Ward, causing actual bodily harm.
