A man and a 16-year-old girl have become the latest people to be charged with violent disorder and arson following events in Harehills last summer.
Trouble erupted in the Leeds suburb on the evening of 18 July after police assisted social workers taking four children into emergency foster care, with hundreds later taking to the streets before a double-decker bus was torched.
Lewis McArdle-Rose, 20, of North Parkway, Leeds, who police said defines as white British, will appear at Leeds Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.
The 16-year-old girl, who cannot be named due to her age, will also appear at the same court also on Tuesday.
West Yorkshire Police said 82 people had now been arrested as part of the investigation into the disorder, with 41 of them charged.
