A man has been jailed after assaulting two police officers and a member of the public in an attack at Manchester Airport.
Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 21, has been jailed for three and a half years following the attack.
He has been convicted of assaulting Pc Lydia Ward and Pc Ellie Cook during the incident on July 23 2024.
Reading a statement during his sentencing hearing at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday, Ms Ward said: “You chose to attack a female. You knocked me to the ground with one punch, with so much force you broke my nose.
“How would you feel if a male did that to your mother? How would you feel if it was your mother standing here today explaining how she was violently assaulted by a male?
“What you did was cowardly.”
She added: “What angers me is that afterwards, when only part of the footage was out in the public, you played the victim.
“You are not a victim. I am the one who was injured, not you. You had the whole world listening to you and you showed no remorse. Not one ounce.
“You allowed the public to feel sorry for you. You made out like we had done something wrong when all we were doing was our job.
“The things that have been written about me on social media are disgusting. Do I deserve to be spoken about in that way? I was made to feel like an idiot.
“You could have stopped that by telling the truth. Instead, you continued with this narrative, even when the full footage was published.”
