It was surely one of the most anticipated verdicts in recent British criminal history. Following a thuggish brawl at Manchester Airport on July 23 last year, Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, from Rochdale, was yesterday convicted for his callous assaults on two female police officers.
At Liverpool Crown Court, he was found guilty of causing actual bodily harm to PC Lydia Ward and assaulting PC Ellie Cook.
This brute, who thinks nothing of punching women in the face, remains in custody. I hope they throw the book at him.
