The accused is expected to appear before Belfast Magistrates’ Court on February 14th.

All the charges will be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service, which is usual procedure.

Earlier on Friday the PSNI issued an appeal for information.

Detective Inspector Jack Kelly said: “The man, who is aged 33, was taken to hospital by colleagues from the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service on Wednesday afternoon but sadly later passed away.

“Our inquiries are continuing and I am appealing to anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to contact our officers on 101 quoting reference 707 of 11/02/26.”
