Overview

• PC Lydia Ward said she approached Mohammed Fahir Amaaz at a Terminal 2 ticket machine on July 23, 2024, and was floored by a forceful punch that fractured her nose and left her briefly unconscious.
• She recounted that the impact dislodged her radio battery, preventing her from calling for backup, and that bystanders filmed the incident without offering assistance.
• Ward and colleagues had deployed a Taser on Amaaz before she used Pava incapacitant spray against him and his brother Muhammad Amaad when he intervened.
• Prosecutors describe the brothers’ conduct as a “high level of violence” causing actual bodily harm to Ward, PC Zachary Marsden and PC Ellie Cook.
• Both defendants deny the assault charges and jurors at Liverpool Crown Court are now reviewing body‐worn camera evidence ahead of a verdict.
