A man who died after being attacked outside a pub in York has been named.

Darren Pudsey, 45, from Upper Poppleton, York, was assaulted in front of The Terrace, on Fossgate, at about 22:20 BST on Tuesday.

Mr Pudsey, a father-of-four, died in hospital from his injuries on Thursday, North Yorkshire Police said.

A murder inquiry had been launched and a man, 38, arrested earlier in connection with the incident had been released on bail, the force added.
