Three held after police attacked at Manchester Airport

Three police officers have been injured in an attack at Manchester Airport, police have said.

A female officer and two male colleagues were assaulted by a man after coming across a vehicle in an unauthorised space at about 07:15 BST.

The officers had been on patrol and were inspecting the vehicle, which was not insured, when they were confronted.
They deployed a Taser before a man and two women were arrested on suspicion of assault, Greater Manchester Police said.

They were later released on bail.
The force said: “Assaults on officers are unacceptable and we will not hesitate to take action should any criminal offences be found.”

The attack follows a widely publicised incident at the airport last month which was captured in a viral video that showed an officer kicking a man in the head.

Three officers were also hurt in the incident.
Two officers remain under investigation and four men have been released on bail.
