A Glasgow teenager has been charged with violent disorder and burglary following far-right violence across England in the wake of the stabbing of three young girls in Southport.
The Crown Prosecution announced on Thursday that a number of people had been charged with offences.
Among them was a 15-year-old boy, from Glasgow, who was charged with violent disorder and burglary.
He is due to appear at Liverpool Youth Court over the charges.

Police forces were preparing for around 100 riots to take place, although the evening was instead marked by thousands of anti-racism protesters.
Police Scotland also issued a statement on Wednesday to say they had “no intelligence” to suggest a far-right march would take place despite unverified social media posts claiming this to be the case.
