A man seriously injured following an altercation outside a nightclub in Lancaster has now died.
Police were called at shortly before 4.30am on Sunday (June 12th) to a report that a man had been punched during an altercation outside Glow nightclub, Dalton Square, causing him to fall and hit his head on the ground.
The man, Joshua Hughes (pictured), 22, who was part of a group who had been inside the club earlier but had been ejected, was taken to hospital in a critical condition in hospital. Despite the best efforts of medical professionals, he died this morning (June 16).
A 31-year-old man from Leigh was arrested on suspicion of Section 18 assault and bailed pending further enquiries.

“I would appeal to anyone with information to come forward and speak to us. If you can help, please get in touch."
