The PSNI has confirmed that an 11-year-old child has been charged to court in connection with disorder in the Broadway area of south Belfast last month.
The boy has been charged with rioting, three counts of possessing petrol bombs in suspicious circumstances, and possessing an offensive weapon in a public place.
He has been further charged with throwing petrol bombs and causing an explosion likely to endanger life or cause serious injury to property.
The boy is due to appear before Belfast Youth Court on Friday, September 6.
As is usual procedure, all charges will be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service.
