POLICE last night said a 29-year-old man had been issued with a community resolution notice following an incident in south Belfast.

A PSNI spokeswoman said the man had "attended voluntarily for interview following an incident at the Agincourt Avenue area" on Tuesday July 12.

She added that he had been "issued with a community resolution notice for criminal damage".

It comes after footage circulating on social media earlier this week showed a bin being thrown at loyalist bandsmen during a march along Agincourt Avenue.

The video showed a man emerge from a house with an Irish tricolour flying from the first-floor window. He then threw a small recycling bin at members of Bangor Protestant Boys Flute Band.

Bandsmen chased the man back into the property, which is understood to house several flats, and banged on the door.

A man in the band was seen to put down his drum, picked up a wheelie bin and smashed it against the front window of the property.

A 46-year-old man arrested on suspicion of a range of offences including assault and disorderly behaviour was later released on police bail pending further enquiries.
