The Manchester Police brutally assaulted a British-Pakistani family at the Airport. Videos of the assault on the family went viral on social media.
Videos triggered strong reactions on social media users and from various communities in the UK. The viral video shows an old woman trying to protect two young men from a brutal beating by the Police. The incident happened when the family reached Manchester from Qatar.
