GREATER Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham urged people to take a step back as “nobody is in possession of the complete picture” of the incident at the city’s airport last week.

Protests and outrage erupted after a video showed a police officer kicking and stamping on a young man’s head as he lay on the ground at the airport.

The video also shows a cop throwing a punch at a young man, who then retaliated as the incident escalated into more violence.
