A mother-of-three charged with rioting after police halted a republican parade in Belfast was at the head of the 60-strong crowd that attacked officers, a court has heard.

Sarah Kelly Umney (aged 36) threw a brick directly at police and attempted to rip a baton from an officer's gun belt during the disturbances around the Oldpark Road in the north of the city on Sunday, a policewoman told Belfast Magistrates' Court.
