Jury in Manchester Airport case sent out to consider verdicts
The jury in the trial of two brothers accused over assaults on police officers at Manchester Airport has been sent out to consider its verdicts. Pc Zachary Marsden, Pc Lydia Ward and Pc Ellie Cook approached Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, at a ticket machine after a report that a male fitting his description had headbutted a customer at Starbucks cafe in T2 arrivals on July 23 last year. Amaaz allegedly resisted, and his brother, Muhammad Amaad, 26, is then said to have intervened as the prosecution said they inflicted a 'high level of violence' on the Greater Manchester Police officers. The Crown say CCTV footage showed Amaaz threw 10 punches, which included one to the face of Pc Ward that knocked her to the floor, and that Amaad aimed six punches at firearms officer Pc Marsden. Amaaz is also said to have kicked Pc Marsden and twice struck fellow firearms officer Pc Cook with his elbow. He is said to have punched Pc Marsden from behind and then had hold of him before Pc Cook discharged her Taser device. Mobile phone footage of a kick and stamp by Pc Marsden as Amaaz lay on the floor was shared on social media and went viral. Amaaz and Amaad, both from Rochdale, Greater Manchester, told the court they acted in lawful self-defence, or in defence of the other. Giving evidence at Liverpool Crown Court, Amaaz said he feared the 'lunatic' male officer would 'batter him to death' and Amaad said he believed he was under attack. The defence said the officers used 'unlawful force' as they grabbed Amaaz from behind without announcing themselves. 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 by beating of a member of the public, Abdulkareem Ismaeil, at a Starbucks cafe in T2 arrivals – in which he also claimed he was acting in self-defence Amaad is alleged to have assaulted Pc Marsden, causing actual bodily harm.

The employee was charged with one count of false imprisonment of a child under the age of 13 following the incident at a Florida Subway location A Subway employee was arrested and charged for allegedly locking a young girl in a room after she walked on an area of floor that was freshly mopped. On Monday, July 21, James Anthony Morris Jr. was arrested after allegedly imprisoning a 10-year-old girl at a Jacksonville, Fla., Subway location where he is a manager, Law & Crime reported, citing an arrest report from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. Action News Jax also reported about the incident. After arriving with her mother at the restaurant — located on Argyle Forest Boulevard near Old Middleburg Road, per Action News Jax — the girl walked on an area that Morris, 33, had just mopped, according to the report obtained by Law & Crime. Her mother subsequently asked her to apologize, per the report. The Subway manager then allegedly grabbed the girl by the hand and brought her to the back of the restaurant, where he locked her in a room, according to the arrest report. Initially, the girl's mom believed Morris was playing around, but then began to 'panic,' Law & Crime reported. The distressed parent tried to open the door, but Morris allegedly 'pushed' it closed, leading to an altercation, according to the arrest report. The mom then allegedly 'fought' with the Subway manager and called out for help, ultimately getting the door open to free her daughter. Another employee at the sandwich shop responded to the mom's cries for help, according to the arrest report. He later told police that he had allegedly observed Morris pull the girl and 'heard the commotion' that followed. He also called Morris's behavior 'weird,' per the report. Police believe that in total, the girl was in the room for 'upwards of two minutes,' according to Law & Crime. Subway did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on Saturday, July 26, nor did the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. The girl told police that when the manager allegedly brought her to the room, he 'gripped her hand even tighter" and told her that her parents are 'trash and terrible people,' according to Law & Crime. The child thought she was being kidnapped and was 'really scared,' the outlet reported. The girl told police that Morris did not make any sexual advances towards her, according to Law & Crime.
