Three men arrested during an English Defence League march and counter-protest in Norwich have been charged, and another man has been cautioned.

A 22-year-old from Norwich was charged with possession of an offensive weapon.

A 45-year-old from Milton Keynes and a 28-year-old from Norwich were charged with using threatening words or behaviour.
