There has been a second night of protests over the man kicked and stamped on by a police officer at Manchester Airport.
Videos online appeared to show a handful of demonstrators with their faces covered, throwing eggs at Rochdale police station on Thursday night.
The family of the man are particularly shocked by what happened because some of their family members are police officers, newly elected Rochdale Labour MP Paul Waugh said after speaking to them.
The footage, filmed at Manchester Airport’s terminal two on Tuesday, appeared to show an officer kick and stamp on the head of a man who was lying face down on the floor, with a woman kneeling beside him.
The video also appeared to show the officer strike a second man.
Ian Collins grills Akhmed Yakoob, lawyer of the Manchester Airport stamping victim, on what preceded the viral video that showed the incident.
"The police didn't just turn up and suddenly jump on someone's head, there must have been an incident!"
