Date published: 23 November 2010
A ROYTON man has been charged with two racially aggravated public order offences following a disturbance at the Pakistani Community Centre.
Anthony Holden (45), of John Street, Royton, was charged yesterday and is due to appear at Oldham Magistrates Court on December 6.
Police were called to the community centre in Marlborough Street, Oldham, at about 3.45pm on November 14 after 20 members of the English Defence League stormed a meeting of the Respect political party led by George Galloway.
Police said they will not take further action against three other men arrested on suspicion of affray on the day.
