Victim of alleged assault dies of brain haemorrhage

A 26-YEAR-OLD north Cork man allegedly assaulted by a group of young men two weeks ago died in hospital yesterday.

Gardaí believe Denis Nolan, who was single, was attacked by a group of young men at Main Street in Glanworth in the early hours of the morning of the October 27 bank holiday. It is thought he was struck a number of times by the men, including blows while he was on the ground.

Despite his injuries, Mr Nolan was able to get himself home after the incident.
