A court has heard a man accused of rioting in south Belfast helped to push a car through gates before it was set alight.
Mr Brogan was arrested after a member of the public identified him among images of suspects which police released to the media. He then opened a set of gates on nearby Wellwood Street and assisted others in rocking a Vauxhall Astra to move it, according to police. During police interviews, he admitted attending the scene for three hours but denied taking part in the disorder and claimed he was only trying to prevent damage to the vehicle.
