Greater Manchester Police has swiftly cleared officers of any wrongdoing following video of a 17-year-old being being pinned to the ground as he was arrested.

The footage shows two officers grappling with the teen before bringing him to the ground and handcuffing him.

One can be seen using his knee during the arrest.

The youth's family allege one of the officers was 'crushing his neck' with the knee, a claim strongly denied by GMP.
