A man wanted in connection with the incident was not at the address but found at his girlfriend’s property a short distance away.

A 35-year-old man was subsequently arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and taken into custody.

Assistant Chief Constable Rob Griffin said: “The public shared with us some footage that we have re-investigated and has led us to identify some suspects. We will continue with these investigations.

“The message couldn’t be clearer – there is absolutely no place for violent disorder on the streets of our city.

“We won’t stand for it. If you wish to cause disorder of any kind, then expect a knock at your door.

“As today’s warrant proves, we will arrest you and ensure justice is served.”
