Andy Burnham urged people to “step back” and allow the authorities to conduct their investigations after the Manchester Evening News released new footage on Saturday showing the lead-up to an arrest in which a police officer allegedly kicked and stamped on a man as he lay face down.

Speaking on Sky News’ Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips, he said: “It’s a complicated situation, a very violent situation actually, and there have been problems on both sides.

“That’s why I asked other people not to judge too quickly, because the issue is so complex and no one knows all the facts, even if everyone expresses their opinion. No one knows the whole picture.”

Asked when a conclusion could be expected from the Independent Office for Police Conduct, Burnham said: “I know it’s a frustrating world we live in. Everyone wants instant conclusions, but that’s not life, is it?”

“Over the last few days, people have been making complete judgments about one side or the other. You pick a side in this whole thing and the truth is always somewhere in between.”

“Life is more complicated than people sometimes portray it on social media.”

The mayor said the incident went through three phases. Before the footage was made public, there had already been an argument on an airplane.

On Sunday evening, he spoke to reporters in the back seat of a car. Guardian He said: “You may have seen the various media reports about me over the last few days.

“The media have tried to sabotage me. While it is not the first time they have done this, they have made the whole situation about me rather than police brutality and police misconduct, which is unfair to Greater Manchester Police and the family.

“After consulting with the family, I have therefore decided to step back for the time being and have recommended a lawyer to the family. But I will keep a close eye on the matter.”
