A 29-year-old man has been charged with riot, attempted murder, and two counts of arson with intent to endanger life in connection with recent violent disorder in Belfast. The charges stem from incidents including a Glider bus fire on June 9 and an arson attack on properties on McMaster Street.
The suspect was arrested on Monday and is expected to appear before Belfast Magistrates' Court on Tuesday. The violence and disorder that led to these charges spread sporadically across Northern Ireland. These events followed the widespread sharing of footage depicting a violent knife attack on social media.
