ALBAWABA - A video has taken the internet by storm after policemen were seen in many videos "violently attacking" men at Manchester Airport.
At least three people inside Manchester Airport were beaten by police officers in an incident which was described as "truly shocking," CNN reported, adding that a police officer was removed from duty.
In one of the clips which went viral on social media and sparked wide debate about "police cruelty," a policeman was seen stomping on a man's head while a woman was seen next to him.
In detail, a clip showed a male police officer moving closer to the man who was on the floor and started kicking him in the face, while he pointed a taser at him, before stomping on his head.
A person posted the footage on X (formerly Twitter) and questioned the clip: "Since when was it OK to kick and knee people in the face?" Many others said that despite what the men did, the police's violent attacks were not justified.
