Greater Manchester Police (GMP) have launched an appeal for information over three incidents which are said to have preceded the events captured in the viral video where a man was 'kicked in the head' by an officer.

The footage appeared to show an officer kicking and stamping on a man's head as he lay on the ground at Manchester Airport's Terminal 2 on Tuesday evening (July 23).

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) are now investigating the use of the force with the watchdog saying a constable is facing a criminal probe.
