Riots-Accused Teenager Appears In Court
A 17-year-old who is accused of assaulting police during riots in north Belfast on Sunday has appeared in court.
Belfast Magistrates Court heard a claim that the teenager had injured an officer in the leg during the violence in the Carlisle Circus area.
He cannot be named because of his age.
The teenager is accused of rioting, assaulting police and resisting arrest.
His defence lawyer said he suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and mental health problems, and his mother cares for him.
But police objected to bail and the young man has been remanded in custody until September 26.
The judge said: "In the current circumstances the likelihood of re-offending is very high. His address is keeping him within an area of temptation."
