PA mediaA police officer told a jury that she was “completely nervous” when she reached the face with a punch as she tried to arrest an attack on Manchester Airport.
The Greater Manchester PC Lidi Ward faced a broken nose in the incident in Terminal 2 Car Pay station area on 23 July last year.
20 -year -old Mohammad Fahi Maa Amaz and his brother, Muhammad Amad, are accused of attack. Both men, Rochedale, from Greater Manchester, deny the allegations.
The PC ward told the trial that he remembered that “falling on the floor and everything turned black” after “really powerful” shock on his face.
The court listened to the PC ward and two colleagues contacted Mr. Amaz in a ticket machine after a report that a man had headed a customer in the Starbucks Cafe in the T2 arrival to fit his details.
The jury heard that Mr. Amaz has allegedly opposed, and his brother, Mr. Amad said that the intervention was then intervened as the prosecution claimed that he committed “high level of violence” on the authorities.
The PC ward said: “I was trying to catch the arm of Shri Amaz and was taking it behind my back so that I could get some phlegm on him.”
He said he remembered that PC Zachari Marsden fell or he was pushed towards some seats and Mr. Amaz again killed his colleague.
‘Nobody helped’
The PC ward said: “I tried to grab him so that he could stop kicking PC Marsden. I remember then he turned and he punched me directly on his face.”
“I really can’t remember where it landed, but I know where my injuries were. I remember that I fell on the floor and everything turned black.”
He told the prosecutor Adam Birkby that the shock was “really powerful”.
“As I came round, I could feel that there was bleeding from my nose. I was just thinking that he had done something in my nose, facial area, I did not know what happened.”
“I was nervous to be honest. I was completely nervous. I had never experienced that level of violence towards me in my life.
“I didn’t know who was going to come next to me. I was afraid to go again after this man and was being punched again on the face.”
He said at one point he pressed his police radio emergency button to call for further assistance, but the effect of the punch had knocked the battery.
The PC ward told the court that other people from the Pay Station area were “screaming goods” and “filming on their mobile phones”.
He said: “Nobody came to help. I felt that everyone in that room was against us. To be honest, I was nervous.”
‘Surprised’
Rosemary Fernandes, representing Sri Amaz, put it in the PC ward that his customer was “taken” in surprise “and” surprised “.
He said: “It is important that you identify yourself as police officers, right?”
The PC Ward said: “I don’t think we had any time to do so. We had no time to discuss rational discussion with this man as it turned violently quickly.”
Ms. Fernandes said: “I put it in front of you that the defendant believed that she was being attacked from behind and all this happened very fast.
“It is a matter of defense that he punished you in legitimate self -defense on the basis that you were an attacker. Do you have any comments on it?”
The PC ward said: “I don’t know how I felt that I am an attacker. He turned to me and punched me on his face.
“He could see that I was a police officer and he could see that I was also a woman.”
