UK riots: Man jailed for shouting at police dog and racist slurs

McCarthy, 34, had joined an anti-immigration march in Bristol which clashed with counter-protesters and police in Castle Park and on Bristol Bridge on 3 August.

Bristol Crown Court heard he played a “prominent” role in trying to goad police, and had “aggressively” shouted at a police dog.

“You did all this in a tinderbox atmosphere where it only takes the actions of one person to spark very serious group violence,” Judge Julian Lambert said.

McCarthy admitted violent disorder at a previous hearing. He has convictions for violence, weapons offences and public order.

Another man who hurled bricks, a glass bottle, and three concrete blocks at police during disorder in a city centre was jailed for two and a half years.

Craig Timbrell, 38, of Hartcliffe, appeared at Bristol Crown Court, charged with violent disorder over his “prominent role” in the unrest.
