A man has been charged with causing a public nuisance after an incident involving a drone being flown from a bridge.

The M48 Severn Bridge, which is the crossing between England and Wales, was closed on 31 December for 30 minutes after a "concern for welfare".

Alexandru Scutaru, 30, of Northampton, was given police bail with conditions not to go to either of the Severn crossings pending a court appearance.

Mr Scutaru is due to appear at Bristol Magistrates' Court on 21 February.
