Four men charged after an anti-immigration protest in Belfast ended in violence are refused bail.
A judge has said violence in Belfast had “racist elements” as he denied bail to four men who were charged in relation to the disorder.
He was charged with three counts of assault on police, resisting police and disorderly behaviour at Shaftesbury Square. Gary Creighton appeared in the dock charged with possession of an offensive weapon with intent to commit an indictable offence. A police officer told the court that Mr McCullough was witnessed verbally attacking police and taking part in "civil unrest" in the Sandy Row area of the city, having been warned several times to move on.
