Aircraft was being towed from Terminal Three over to the 60's due to it's slot, standard procedure for 'push n park' at MAN.

Sheer pins went on the tow bar during the tow, tug driver tried to slow down but the head of the tow bar disconnected from the bar itself. Result of this was the aircraft running over the tug.

Importantly the tug driver walked away okay
