Three Police Officers have been left with injuries after being assaulted at Manchester Airport in an incident yesterday morning.
The incident happened on Wednesday morning, shortly after 7am, unarmed officers carrying out enquiries on a vehicle parked in an unauthorised space were assaulted. A taser was used, and three people were subsequently arrested.
In a statement, Greater Manchester Police said: “At around 7.15am, patrolling officers inspected an abandoned vehicle in an unauthorised space at Manchester Airport.
While conducting enquiries – which found the vehicle was uninsured – officers were confronted by a man during which three of our unarmed officers were assaulted and left with injuries.
A Taser was deployed, before three people – a man and two women – were taken to custody on suspicion of police assault. They have all been bailed pending further investigations. Enquiries are underway, including a review of body-worn video, CCTV, and other available footage.
“Assaults on officers are unacceptable and we will not hesitate to take action should any criminal offences be found.
