A 57-year-old man is due in court later after he was charged by detectives for his role in a city centre protest which turned volatile.
Wayne Murray, of Winterbourne, was charged with violent disorder on Wednesday night and will appear at Bristol Magistrates' Court later.

A total of 45 people have been arrested, with another 32 charged. A further 16 people have received custodial sentences.
A number of demonstrations took place across England after high tensions over the killing of three young girls in Southport, Merseyside, on 29 July.
