President Trump's Turnberry resort was targeted by protesters on 8 March

Another man has been charged over damage caused to Donald Trump's golf course at Turnberry.

A green was dug up at the Ayrshire course on 8 March and another had the words "Gaza is not for sale" painted on it. Red paint was also daubed over buildings and walls at the resort.

The 57-year-old man was arrested in London on Tuesday. He has since been released and is due to appear in court at a later date.

Several other people have already appeared in court charged with malicious mischief in connection with the damage to the course.

The incident was reported at 04:40 in the morning.

President Trump labelled the people who caused damaged at the resort "terrorists" and called for them to be "treated harshly" by authorities.

A spokesperson for the resort previously said it was a "childish, criminal act".

Trump sparked concern internationally after saying he wanted to turn Gaza into a resort like the French Riviera - a proposal that would see Palestinians removed to other countries.

The president later posted an AI-generated video of what Gaza might look like after the redevelopment.
