A man has died after being assaulted in Coventry city centre on Monday night.
Patrick Redmond, aged 68 from Coundon, was punched to the floor in Riley’s Snooker Hall, on Hertford Place just before 11pm and was taken to hospital with a serious head injury.
Sadly nothing could be done to save him and Mr Redmond’s life support was switched off yesterday.
A 37-year-old Radford man was arrested on suspicion of wounding and has now been re-arrested on suspicion of murder. He remains in police custody while enquiries continue.
Chief Inspector Ed Foster said: “This is a tragic case and our sympathies go to the family of the victim. We are in the early stages of our enquiry and I would urge anyone who witnessed what happened and has not yet spoken to a police officer to get in touch with us on 101.”
