• He faces charges of criminal damage, possession of a lock knife and deposition of a noxious substance on the highway.
• Police apprehended him around 2:45am wearing a balaclava and carrying empty manure containers, and he disclosed others were involved.
• The municipal cleanup cost the local authority £788.39 but the Pride parade proceeded without disruption.
• A 20-year-old co-defendant has also been released on bail and both are due back in court for further hearings later this year.
