A police officer connected to a wider Manchester Airport incident is facing potential dismissal after allegations that he made a racist comment comparing a colleague’s hair to a “mop.” The officer, PC Mohammed Abid, 29, is based at Bury police station.
According to the report, Abid is one of eight current or former officers raised in connection with claims that they mocked a policewoman’s appearance or how she spoke. The allegation described in the coverage focuses specifically on a comparison involving a black female colleague. The account says the comment is treated as racist and has triggered disciplinary proceedings.
The available reporting frames the case as part of an internal review of conduct by officers, rather than a court finding. While details on the initial Manchester Airport incident and the full scope of the eight-officer allegations are not fully set out in the provided material, the disciplinary matter centers on the specific remark attributed to Abid and the wider pattern of alleged inappropriate behaviour toward the same colleague.
