He will also face a charge of riotous behaviour.
The accused is expected to appear in court in Belfast on Thursday.
Violence flared on 12 July as police enforced a ban on an Orange Order march past Ardoyne shops.
A Parades Commission ruling prevented three lodges walking along a stretch of the Crumlin Road that separates loyalist and nationalist communities on the return route of their annual parade.
