A MAN has died in hospital just days after a fight in a bar at a holiday resort.

Police were called after the fight at Butlin’s in Bognor after midnight on Friday last week.

A 52-year-old man was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital after he was punched in the face and fell.

But police have confirmed that he died on Tuesday afternoon.

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Wolstenholme said: “A fight at a holiday park, which involved several people, sadly resulted in the death of a man. We extend our sympathies to his family and friends at this difficult time, and are providing support with specialist officers.

“The bar was very busy at the time of the assault and we believe many of those present would have witnessed the assault and the aftermath.

“We have spoken to some witnesses who were present at the time, but we would be keen to speak to anyone who hasn’t yet made contact with us.

“We arrested a man immediately after the assault and enquiries are ongoing.”

A 31-year-old man from Wandsworth, London, was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

He was bailed until July 13.

Detectives have appealed for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.

Anyone with information should report it to Sussex Police online or call 101 and quote Operation Brockton. Alternatively call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
