On Thursday 8 August, just before 10.30pm, Police arrested 18-year-old James Martin, from Scarborough, following an incident on Roscoe Street.
He was taken to custody, and charged with racially/religiously aggravated harassment, having an article with intent to destroy/damage property, and obstructing/resisting a constable in the execution of their duty.
He pleaded guilty to all the offences and at York Crown Court on Thursday, he was jailed for two years and two months.
The court heard Martin had been shouting and swearing, and had firelighters in his pocket. He was waving an England flag during the incident - sentencing him, the judge told Martin he had "disgraced" the flag, which "belongs to everyone in this country".
Another suspect was arrested in connection with the same incident. He has been released on bail while enquiries continue.
Police are seeking information about a third man, who they say may have important information that could assist their investigation.
