The case against brothers Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad, who were accused of assaulting PC Zachary Marsden at Manchester Airport, collapsed after two juries failed to reach verdicts
Two brothers have been cleared of assaulting an armed police officer at Manchester Airport after two juries failed to reach verdicts.
Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 21, and Muhammad Amaad, 26, were both on trial accused of assaulting PC Zachary Marsden. They denied the single charge and claimed they were acting in self-defence.
Prosecutors announced they would not seek a third trial after a second jury was left deadlocked last week, the Manchester Evening News reports.
