The family of a man kicked in the head say they are aware extremists are trying to use the incident for their own ends
Footage was shared online of a Greater Manchester Police firearms officer - who has since been suspended - kicking and stamping on a man as he lay prone on the floor. Anger over the video led to protests outside Rochdale police station on Wednesday and Thursday nights, with another protest also held in Manchester city centre on Thursday.
A police spokesman said there had been a "clear risk" their weapons could be taken from them, and three officers had been taken to hospital, one with a broken nose.Last night, solicitor Akhmed Yakoob, who is representing Muhammad Fahir Amaaz who he said was the man who had been kicked, said his condition had worsened on Wednesday night, and a CT scan on Thursday had "revealed there is a cyst on his brain".
