Mark Blaney Refused Bail
An Orangeman accused of trying to kill a police officer with a ceremonial sword during riots in north Belfast must remain in custody, a judge has ruled.
Mark Blaney, 30, is charged with attempted murder, possession of an offensive weapon and riotous behaviour.
Blaney, of Alliance Close, was refused bail by the judge due to continuing tensions in the area where the attack took place.
Blaney was arrested by police investigating violence surrounding the ban on the Orange Order parade through the nationalist area.
Photographs show Blaney wearing a sash and wielding the ceremonial sword.
