Airport arrests - have you changed your mind?

5 Live listeners share their thoughts with Nicky Campbell

A second video of last week鈥檚 violent scenes at Manchester airport involving 2 men and 3 GMP officers has come to light.

The original video, which showed a police officer kick a man in the head and stamp on him as he lay on the ground led to allegations of police brutality and the suspension of the officer, while the Independent Office For Police Conduct investigates. Greater Manchester Police are also carrying out their own investigation.

The incident, which happened last Tuesday sparked a protest outside Rochdale police station on Wednesday night and another in Manchester city centre on Thursday evening.

The new footage shows two of the officers being punched to the ground before officers were able to restrain the suspects using tasers.

All 3 officers required hospital treatment with one suffering a broken nose.
