Manchester Police arrests 4 Muslim community members for assaulting 3 airport staff, police officer

On Wednesday, July 23, the Manchester Police arrested four individuals belonging to the Muslim community for assaulting an emergency staff at the Manchester Airport and obstructing police.

The Muslims were said to have refused to have their veiled mother searched by the police because that was not permissible according to Islamic law.

The video of the incident is making rounds on social media where the police can be seen tackling them after the latter launched an attack on the police and the airport staff.

However, the video is being used by Islamists to spread ‘Islamophobia’ claims saying that Police assaulted them because they are Muslims.

Several mainstream media reports also reported the incident and said that they didn’t know what sparked the incident.

Notably, the Greater Manchester Police released a statement exposing the truth.

“We know that our communities are rightly concerned by video footage which is being circulated online, that shows armed police officers responding to an incident at Manchester Airport. In advance of what is shown in the video, we were called to reports of an assault at Manchester Airport. The suspect was seen on CCTV at the ticket counter of the car park and the officers reached to arrest him,” the statement read.

Wasin Chaudhury, Assistant Chief Constable added, “During our response, three officers were assaulted, one female officer suffered a broken nose and the other officers were forced to the ground and suffered injuries that required hospital treatment.”

The police confirmed that 4 individuals accused of assault on airport staff and attack on police were arrested. However, several Islamists are spreading the video claiming that the Muslims were brutally assaulted by the Manchester police for belonging to a specific community.

The incident has sparked outrage in the community with Islamists demanding action against the officers or they will unleash protests like never seen before. The Islamists claim that the police unnecessarily arrested the Muslims, further claiming ‘Islamophobia’. Reportedly, the Islamists are making no mention of assault on the police or the airport staff after which the Muslim heads were forced to face such action by the police.

Muslim man says all officers in today’s Manchester Airport altercation need to be arrested and suspended, or they will unleash protests like “you’ve never seen before”.
No mention of course of the female officer with the broken nose caked in her own blood suffering obvious PTSD.
