Ian Ward, 53, who is of no fixed address, was sentenced to jail for assaulting a female police officer and attacking another man during a counter-protest in Brighton. Ward was among nine men arrested by Sussex Police in connection with recent protests in the area.

In a separate incident at Manchester Airport on July 23, four men, including brothers Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad, were arrested on suspicion of affray and assault following an altercation with police. These men were released on bail and remain on police bail as of the latest updates.

The altercation at the airport was sparked by a viral video showing a police officer kicking Muhammad Fahir Amaaz in the head while he was lying on the ground. The video also depicted a fight during which officers were punched to the ground.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has launched a criminal investigation into the actions of two Greater Manchester Police officers. One officer has been suspended, and another is under criminal investigation for assault. The IOPC is also investigating potential gross misconduct for alleged breaches of police professional standards, particularly the use of force, by the second officer.

The families involved, including the brothers Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad, have publicly expressed their devastation and trauma over the incident through press conferences.

No further information is currently available on the status or outcomes of the arrested individuals, as the investigation is still ongoing.

On July 26, the IOPC confirmed that a police constable had been suspended and was under criminal investigation related to the arrest. However, it appears that this matter has not received the same level of attention, even though armed police officers were attacked in a busy international junction.
