Two men have been charged with attempted murder by detectives investigating serious disturbances in Larne, County Antrim, in March.

The 28-year-old and a 34-year-old also face charges of riot, intimidation and criminal damage following the incident on 30 March. They are due to appear at Coleraine Magistrates' Court today, 20 June.

A 36-year-old woman has also been charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice.
