A man is due to appear in court next month following disorder in Belfast.

The 43-year-old was arrested last Wednesday in connection with public disorder earlier this month following anti-immigration protests.

He has been charged with intentionally encouraging or assisting riots and other related offences, including cruelty to children.

He is due to appear before Belfast Magistrates’ Court on Thursday September 12th.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland said a total of 39 people have now been arrested and 31 charged over the disorder.
