Brother guilty of attacking two female PCs at Manchester Airport

PC Ward said she had ‘never experienced’ such violence towards her in her police service.

The officer,who joined GMP in 2018,said: ‘Never in my whole time in the police service had that level of violence been used on me before. It felt really hard.

‘As I came round,all I could feel was blood pouring out of my nose. I was just thinking he has done something to my nose,face area,I didn’t know what has happened.’

She added: ‘I was absolutely terrified. I had never experienced that level of violence towards me in my life.

‘I didn’t know who was going to come up at me next. I was scared of going after this male again and being punched in the face again.’

Cross-examining Amaaz,who said he didn’t realise PC Ward was a woman when he punched her,Mr Greaney said: ‘The prosecution case is there was absolutely nothing defensive in punching that woman (PC Ward) in the face.

‘It was offensive and unlawful,and you were wholly out of control.’

Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police,Sir Stephen Watson said: ‘While disappointed that the prosecution case was not fully endorsed,I welcome the findings of the jury in respect of the convicted offender,whose appalling conduct has now been exposed to legitimate public scrutiny.

‘Our officers first approached the man now convicted in order to make an arrest following the unprovoked assault on an innocent man in the presence of his wife and children. They were responding quickly to precisely the sort of outrageous criminal behaviour that rightly offends the public.

‘I am particularly grateful to those many members of the public who have contacted the force in order to pass on their best wishes to the officers affected.’
