Manchester Airport suspect: I thought police would batter me to death
A man who attacked police at Manchester Airport feared he would be 'battered' to death by an officer, a court heard. Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, is accused of assaulting three Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers as they tried to arrest him on the evening of July 23 last year. Pc Zachary Marsden and Pc Ellie Cook, armed officers, attended the Terminal 2 car park pay station area with Pc Lydia Wardafter, an unarmed officer, after reports that a man fitting Mr Amaaz's description had headbutted a member of the public. Giving evidence at Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday, Mr Amaaz said he had acted in self-defence and in defence of his brother, Muhammad Amaad, 26, when he was grabbed at the ticket machine with no explanation. He said a police officer, Pc Marsden, took hold of his arm, adding: 'All of a sudden I remember him grabbing the back of my neck and trying to force me to the ground. 'I was frightened. Honestly I believed if he took me to the ground I thought he would have battered me to the point where I was dead and he would have killed me.' Imran Khan KC, defending, asked: 'Why did you think that Fahir?' Mr Amaaz said: 'Because it's not like it has not happened before in the past, that some police officers have abused their powers and as a result of that people have died.' Mr Amaaz said he stayed on his feet and looked up to see his brother being punched in the face 'repeatedly'. He told the court: 'Honestly I was shocked. I thought: 'What the hell are these lot doing? Why are they punching him in the face?' We have police officers in our family.' Mr Khan said: 'Did you think there was a legitimate reason for them grabbing you in the way they did?' Mr Amaaz said: 'If there was I would have expected them to give me that reason and communicated to us in some way.' Mr Amaaz went on to strike the two female officers, who were both knocked to the ground, with Pc Ward suffering a broken nose. He said he kicked out at one of the officers to 'get him away' from Mr Amaaz and then punched Pc Cook for the same reason. Mr Amaaz said then he saw Pc Marsden pointing what he thought was a gun – in fact a Taser – at his brother. He said: 'Honestly I believe this guy is about to shoot and kill my brother. I think I shouted: 'No!' I didn't want him to pull that trigger.' He ran towards Pc Marsden and struck him from behind before Pc Cook fired her Taser at him, the court heard. Mr Amaaz said: 'I believed I had saved my brother's life then all of a sudden if feels like all the energy has just gone out of me. It felt like the soul being sucked out of my body and everything went stiff.' He said he thought he was 'dying' as he held on to Pc Marsden as they both fell backwards. Mr Amaaz told the jury that he had no hostility towards the police and that another brother, Abid, was a serving GMP officer. He added that his uncle was a GMP officer for 30 years before his retirement and that six cousins were also employed by GMP. Mr Amaaz is alleged to have assaulted Pc Marsden and Pc Ward, causing them actual bodily harm. He is also accused of the assault of emergency worker Pc Cook, and the earlier assault of a member of the public, Abdulkareem Ismaeil, at a Starbucks cafe in T2 arrivals. Mr Amaad is alleged to have assaulted Pc Marsden, causing actual bodily harm. Both men, from Rochdale, Greater Manchester, deny the allegations.

Scots wife left husband covered in blood after savaging his private parts after he refused sex
A WIFE left her hubby covered in blood after grabbing his testicles and twisting them when he denied her sex. Frustrated Sharon Irvine, 55, clawed at partner David's privates as they lay in bed at home in Blantyre, Lanarkshire, leaving him needing stitches. 3 3 The agonising attack saw her admit to assault to severe injury — but the couple are still together. A court heard that she ferociously attacked her husband's testicles after hearing him 'pleasuring himself' instead of having sex with her. She then called cops on herself, telling them: 'There's a lot of blood'. Mr Irvine, whose scrotum was torn open in the horror — was taken to hospital where medics stitched the wound. He refused to give an official statement to police but confirmed his spouse of 14 years had 'grabbed, pulled and twisted' him, Hamilton Sheriff Court heard. Irvine, 55, pleaded guilty to assault to severe injury as her husband watched. They're both absolutely mortified and just want to put it behind them. They're very much still together A source The couple are still together following the bedroom bloodbath at their home in Blantyre, Lanarkshire, in January. Prosecutor Sinead Corrigan said: 'She stated that she had heard him pleasuring himself and that had angered her because he was not engaging in sexual activity with her. "She then grabbed him and caused injury.' Sheriff Kevin McCallum KC told Irvine: 'This is a very unfortunate set of circumstances, highly regrettable, and there is no doubt embarrassment on all sides. Two men hacked XL Bully dogs with meat cleaver & knife in horrific attack in Scots street "But it is quite serious, as whatever went on to cause you to behave in that way, a quite significant injury was caused.' Mr Irvine last night declined to comment and his wife was unavailable. A source said: 'They're both absolutely mortified and just want to put it behind them. They're very much still together.' This is a very unfortunate set of circumstances, highly regrettable, and there is no doubt embarrassment on all sides Sheriff Kevin McCallum KC Sheriff McCallum deferred sentence until next month for background reports and continued Irvine's bail.
