Overview
- The jury, which on Wednesday saw CCTV and body‑worn camera video from the car park pay station, also heard firearms officer PC Ellie Cook describe her response and the risk of a gun being seized.
- Following Tuesday's screening of Starbucks footage, a duty manager said he saw Mohammed Fahir Amaaz headbutt Abdulkareem Ismaeil before staff called police.
- Both defendants deny assault occasioning actual bodily harm to PC Zachary Marsden and say they acted in lawful self‑defence or to protect each other.
- Prosecutors say the brothers used a high level of violence in about 30 seconds, with 12 blows that broke PC Lydia Ward’s nose and left PC Marsden with post‑concussion symptoms.
- The case is a retrial at Liverpool Crown Court after a previous jury could not reach a verdict on the Marsden count, and it is listed for about five weeks.
