An alleged rioter ran at police lines carrying an Irish tricolour during trouble in north Belfast on July 12, the High Court has heard.
Aiden McCrory, 24, of Eglantine Avenue, is also accused of throwing masonry, bricks and bottles during street violence in Ardoyne following the annual Orange Order parade through the area.
He is charged with rioting, two counts of assault on police, and resisting arrest.
A prosecution lawyer told the court Mr McCrory was arrested at the scene.
He is being questioned further today.
