The British Pakistani man who was hit in the head by a UK cop at Manchester Airport has a cyst on his brain, the lawyer reveals.

The video of Fahir and Ammad, the two brothers assaulted by UK cops at Manchester airport, went viral on a global level. Their lawyer told media outside Rochdale Police Station that Fahir has a cyst on his brain after a CT scan was conducted post-incident. He informed the media that Fahir’s condition deteriorated overnight.

“The people who were assaulted are members of a police officer’s family,” said Yakoob as he shared that Fahir’s older brother, who works as a police officer for Greater Manchester Police, is now “afraid to go to work.”

“He went in today and spoke to his supervisor, and the only reason he is not going to work is because he fears for his own safety,” Yakoob said while talking to the media.

The lawyer stated that he was unaware of the events leading up to the incident but insisted that “nothing justifies the barbaric treatment from the police officers.”

Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham told Sky News said that the assault is a disturbing image and “hard to justify.” He and his deputy have met with both the home secretary and the regional director of the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). They agreed that the ongoing IOPC investigation will be carried out swiftly, involve community stakeholders, and remain fully independent.

Several videos of armed UK police officers holding a taser over a man lying face down on the floor are going viral on social media yesterday while it turned out that the incident happened late at night on Tuesday.

However, the officer was suspended by GMP and later acknowledged the public’s concern and assured them of an imminent investigation that has been taking place.
