Wray is accused of stopping cars to ask if the driver was white or English during the disorder in Middlesbrough.

The 23-year-old is also accused of setting a wheelie bin alight during the trouble in the town centre.

He did not enter pleas but it was indicated he would deny the offences and District Judge Helen Cousins remanded in custody to appear at Teesside Crown Court, also on August 29.

As he was taken away from the dock, he told people in the public gallery: “Tell Megan I love her.”
