Gerry Kelly interviewed by PSNI
Sinn Féin’s Gerry Kelly has been interviewed by PSNI over an incident at the Tour of the North last month.
Footage showed the assembly member being carried along the bonnet of a police land rover after the event on Friday 21 June.
A police spokesman confirmed on Friday the 60-year-old was interviewed by police and said a report would now be forwarded to the PPS.
Police said the parade was “largely peaceful” but a stand-off followed after a number of nationalist youths tried to run through the bands as they made their way up Peter’s Hill.
The north Belfast MLA had said he was talking to young people who had agreed to go home when he was made aware that a teenager had been arrested and was inside a police land rover.
He said he spoke to the officer driving the vehicle, who indicated he would pull over so they could speak with the teen’s parents.
At the time, the Sinn Féin representative said he had not criticised all the police on the night, but was “talking about an incident involving a small number of police, and it was bad policing”.
Culture Minister Carál Ní Chuilín was also taken to hospital following the incident.
DUP leader Peter Robinson criticised Mr Kelly’s actions “reckless and ill-advised”.
The incident has also been reported to the Police Ombudsman.
