'Assaults on officers are unacceptable and we will not hesitate to take action should any criminal offences be found', GMP bosses said
Three officers have been hurt after being assaulted at Manchester Airport, Greater Manchester Police has said. They were attacked as they investigated an abandoned, uninsured car in an unauthorised space at Terminal Two on Wednesday morning , the force added.
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. The force launched an investigation after footage emerged of violent scenes on July 23. The first clip, which went viral on social media, appeared to show a police officer kicking and stamping on a man's head as he lay on the ground.
