Police have said they are investigating the actions of several people after claims that a bible was ripped up and a man was spat at during a Pride parade in Belfast on Saturday.
The development comes after the PSNI said it is treating comments made by a protester during the parade at the weekend as a hate crime.
The comments were made by a man using a public address system at Royal Avenue, which were later circulated on social media and appeared to prompt an angry response from some bystanders.
It has now been claimed that a bible was also ripped up and that a man was spat at during the parade.
When asked, a spokeswoman for the PSNI said: "Police can confirm that as part of the investigation, we are reviewing the actions and behaviours of a number of individuals."
Belfast Alliance councillor Micky Murray, who was present when the comments were made, said the comments were "deeply offensive".
"Members of the public were visibly and audibly outraged by it," he added.
John O'Doherty, co-chairman of Belfast Pride, said the "language used was entirely unacceptable".
"Belfast Pride and the Pride movement more generally are born out of a protest movement, and Belfast Pride itself is a protest so we fully recognise the right of people to protest across our city, it's a right that we use annually ourselves," he told the BBC.
"That includes those people who choose to protest us and protest what we believe in, and there has been a long history of protest at the Belfast Pride Parade, in advance and during, and broadly without incident."
Mr O'Doherty said the Pride committee will be meeting senior police officers later this week about the wider event, and intend to raise the matter with them.
PSNI Superintendent Christian Bradley said officers attended the scene in Royal Avenue and gathered evidence using their body-worn video.
He said: "Police are aware of a video circulating on social media showing a male using a public address system in the Royal Avenue area of the city on Saturday July 29 prior to the Belfast Pride Parade.
"Officers were present at the scene and gathered evidence on body-worn video.
"This footage is being reviewed by investigators. The incident is being treated as a hate crime."
Thousands of people took to the streets of Belfast as the city's largest ever Pride parade took place on Saturday.
More than 250 different groups signed up to take part, an increase of 25% on last year.
The theme for Belfast Pride 2023 was Stand By Your Trans, and the parade was led by trans, non-binary and gender diverse people.
