The man who was tasered and held on the ground is believed to have suffered a brain cyst after being trampled, his lawyer said.
The police response sparked allegations of police brutality and a wave of protests in the town of Rochdale, where the two civilians in the video are from.
A police officer has been suspended following the incident on July 23 and is the subject of a criminal investigation for assault by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).
Paul Waugh, the newly elected Labour MP for Rochdale, said in a statement on Monday that the alleged attack on the police officers and their response was “shocking”.
Mr Waugh wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “When I met the Deputy Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police last Thursday, I made it clear that anyone committing criminal attacks on our police should face the full force of the law.
“Police had reported that their officers had been the victims of a “violent assault” while attempting to make an arrest at Manchester Airport and that one officer had been left with a broken nose.
“I have raised my concerns about the police officer and others injured in the incident at Manchester Airport, which I have always expressed in writing.
“I have also repeatedly stressed that the police do a difficult job every day to keep us safe, and that they themselves know that their officers must be held to a high standard of conduct in the performance of their duties – and that no officer should be above the law.”
He stressed that it was important that the investigation establish “all the facts” of the attack.
“Protect the protectors”
The Greater Manchester Police Federation (GMPF) said the new footage presented the incident in “a very different light”, adding that “we must protect the protectors”.
Richard Cooke, GMPF chairman, said the new images offered a “completely different perspective”, adding: “We lost more than 5,000 colleagues in the year leading up to March’s voluntary departure.
“Repeatedly assaulted, poorly paid for the risks, denigrated by clueless idiots.
“After this week, this trend will only accelerate. I don’t blame any of them.”
Kevin Hurley, former Surrey police and crime commissioner, said the officer under investigation, who was put in a chokehold and punched to the ground, was “frankly the hero” of the situation.
He told LBC radio: “This guy saved the day and, frankly, saved his colleagues.
“Sometimes you have to do unpleasant things to people.”
