A man has been found guilty of assaulting two female police officers at Manchester Airport last year.

He was also found guilty of an earlier assault of a member of the public, Abdulkareem Ismaeil, at the airport.

A jury at Liverpool Crown Court was unable to reach verdicts on allegations that Amaaz and his brother, Muhammad Ahmed, 26, assaulted Pc Zachary Marsden causing actual bodily harm.
