Four men have been remanded in custody over incidents connected with the ongoing feud between gangs in Ards and North Down.
The men face charges including common assault, affray and disorderly behaviour over events in Donaghadee and Newtownards on Friday, 31 March.
They were also charged in relation to an attack on a man in Ards Shopping Centre on the same day, although a detective constable said that incident is no longer believed to be part of the feud, but came about when the men visited a sports shop to buy face coverings and met a person they had a grievance with.
Ryan Lee Johnston, 29, Curtis Johnston, 24, and Karl O'Neill, 38, with addresses in the North Down area, and Colin Adair, 36, with an address in Belfast, appeared before the court today by video-link from Laganside in Belfast.
Ryan Johnston, Curtis Johnston and Karl O'Neill are charged with the assault of a man, who was named in court, at Ards Shopping Centre, as well as affray, disorderly behaviour, making threats to kill a person, also named in court, at Weavers Grange, and affray in Donaghadee.
Mr Adair is charged with affray and disorderly behaviour at the shopping centre, threats to kill at Weavers Grange, and affray in Donaghadee.
They all said they understood the charges.
The case is to be heard next on Thursday at Ards Magistrates' Court.
