TWO brothers will return to court after allegedly assaulting a cop in a “brawl” at Manchester Airport.
Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, was yesterday convicted of attacking two female cops during the carnage.

He was also found guilty of headbutting a passenger at a Starbucks in the airport.
But jurors were unable to reach a verdict on whether he and brother Muhammad Amaad, 26, assaulted Pc Zachary Marsden causing actual bodily harm.
The pair are now facing a retrial on that count, which has been set for April 7 next year.
Footage showed Amaaz resisting arrest as the officers tried to move him away from a payment machine to cuff him.
He threw ten punches – including one to PC Ward’s face that sent her crashing to the ground with blood pouring from her nose.
Amaaz also twice struck firearms officer PC Cook with his elbow.
Both Amaaz and PC Marsden then fell to the ground before the officer got up and appeared to “stamp” his foot towards Amaaz’s head, Liverpool Crown Court heard.
But jurors were told the cop “doesn’t appear to connect with Mr Amaaz”.
As the brawl continued, the police officers got their Tasers out before managing to handcuff the brothers with the help of other cops.
At one point, PC Ward could be seen appearing to cry as she holds her nose.
The brothers later said they were threatened by an officer and thrown to the ground.
Giving evidence, Amaaz said he feared the “lunatic” male officer would “batter him to death”, while Amaad said he believed he was under attack.
A bail application for Amaaz, who was remanded in custody after the verdicts were returned, has been adjourned until August 26.
