Police yesterday arraigned a fourth man over the disturbance caused in Floriana during the Victory Day regatta last week.

Antoine Aquilina, 35, of St Julians pleaded not guilty to forming part of a crowd of over 10 people and causing damage to tables and chairs at Floriana's Vilhena band club on September 8.

On Tuesday three Valletta men were charged with assaulting police and slightly injuring Marsa supporter Dominic Andrew Spencer during the regatta. These were Jesmar Caruana, 42, Christopher Micallef, 30, and Dieter Dalli, 22.

Mr Aquilina, like the three men arraigned before him, was granted bail against a Lm400 deposit and personal guarantee of Lm1,000.

Magistrate Michael Mallia presided over yesterday's arraignment.

Police Inspectors Pierre Micallef-Grimaud and Alfred Mallia prosecuted.

Lawyer Mario De Marco appeared for Mr Aquilina.
