A 32 year old man has been arrested over reports of threatening behaviour towards an individual in North Belfast last weekend. 

It came as a historic deal brought an end to a bitter three year long dispute.

The Orange Order and Crumlin Ardoyne Residence Association were praised for their parts in brokering the agreement. 

Lodges were allowed to march past the Ardoyne shops, after the route was blocked in 2013. 

The agreement was rejected by the Greater Ardoyne Residence Collective. 

The man who was arrested has since been released on Bail. 

District Commander Chief Superintendent Chris Noble said: “Police investigating a report of threatening behaviour against an individual on the morning of Saturday 1st October at Ardoyne, north Belfast have arrested a 32 year old male. 

“He was arrested in the Belfast area yesterday afternoon, Tuesday 04 October on suspicion of threats to kill and common assault. He was interviewed and has been released pending a report to the Public Prosecution Service.

“Enquiries into the matter are currently ongoing.”
