One of the cars torched by youths which was parked at Stewart Street in the Market district of south Belfast last week

DETECTIVES at Musgrave have arrested a 32 year-old man in relation to public disorder in the Market district area of Belfast last week.

Trouble flared after Belfast City Council removed material gathered for a 9th of August anti-internment bonfire.

Masked youths deliberately torched several cars parked on Stewart Street and others had their windows smashed.

Police called to the scene were attacked with petrol bombs and missiles by roving gangs.

The arrested suspect is due to appear at Belfast Magistrates’ Court this morning for a first remand hearing.

He is charged with riot, throwing a petrol bomb and aggravated taking and driving away.
