Two men have been charged with assaulting police after a disturbance at Manchester Airport.
But no police officers will face charges over their role in the incident, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
Footage of fracas was shared online in July and prompted protests after it appeared to show a Greater Manchester Police officer assaulting a man as he lay on the floor.
The altercation, in the airport’s Terminal Two, allegedly happened after an earlier confrontation between passengers on a Qatar Airways flight which arrived at 7.20pm on July 23.
The CPS has charged two men with assaults on police officers following an incident at Manchester Airport earlier this year.
Mohammed Amaaz, 20, and Muhammed Amaad, 25, will appear at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court on 16 January, 2025.

On Friday, the CPS said Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, of Rochdale, had been charged with two offences of causing actual bodily harm, one charge of assaulting an emergency worker and one charge of common assault and Muhammed Amaad, 25, also from Rochdale, also is charged with causing actual bodily harm.
The men will appear at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court on January 16.
Prosecutors said experts had concluded there was “no realistic prospect of conviction” of any police officers.
