New footage from Manchester Airport appears to show moments of violence before a police officer allegedly stamped on a man's head.
It comes after nights of protests in Rochdale and Manchester city centre after a viral video filmed on Tuesday showed an officer kick and stamp on the head of a man who was lying face down on the floor, as a woman knelt beside him.
New footage filmed from a car park at Manchester Airport’s Terminal 2 now appears to show that officers were under attack moments before.
A group can be seen in the new video - originally obtained by Manchester Evening News - showing people standing close to a ticket machine as they are approached by police.
Three officers - one man and two women - can be seen walking through the group and towards a man dressed in light blue.
The male officer appears to then try and restrain the man and push his head down.
Another man from the group then gets involved and grabs the officer in an attempt to free the detained man.
The group and officers then exchange blows as the male officer is pulled to the ground.
The detained man in blue manages to break free from the female officer and punch her other female colleague.
Both women receive punches to the head with one ending up on the ground.
The male officer can then be seen wielding a Taser, directing it towards the male who appeared to punch him.
The man in blue who freed himself from police runs at the male officer from behind and throws a number of punches towards him.
The man in blue then drops to the floor, turning over onto his stomach and lying face down - at which point a woman can be seen kneeling down next to him.
The remainder of the new video has already been seen in Tuesday's footage where the officer appears to kick and then stamp on the man's head as he lies on the ground.
The family of a man who was kicked have since issued a "plea for calm" and urged people not to take part in any further protests, their MP has said.
