Bishop Street courthouse in Derry
The man, aged 46, has been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
He is expected to appear before Derry Magistrates’ Court in Bishop Street on Friday, September 22, for a first remand hearing.
As is usual procedure, all charges will be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service.
It is understood the attack was carried out by a loyalist bandsman from outside the city who was attending an Apprentice Boys of Derry parade in the city.
Reports at the time said the shopkeeper had told the middle-aged loyalist bandsman to desist from urinating at the rear of his premises when the attack happened.
A daughter of the man said her dad was “left covered in blood after being kicked to the head” in the unprovoked attack.
