A man has been charged with riot, attempted murder and two counts of arson endangering life with intent following violent disorder in Belfast.

The 29-year-old was arrested on Monday in connection with a Glider bus which was set on fire on 9 June as well as an arson attack caused to properties at McMaster street.

He is expected to appear before Belfast Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.

Violence and disorder broke out in the streets of Belfast and sporadically across Northern Ireland after footage of a violent knife attack was widely shared on social media.

It led to people being forced to flee as houses and cars were set on fire.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland said it is continuing to investigate the disorder.
