A man has been charged with the murder of a man who died after being run over north of Gisborne last week.

Eye witnesses said he was run over several times during the incident on Endeavour Street in Tolaga Bay.
A 51-year-old man, who was previously arrested and charged with assault, has now been charged with murder, police said.
He is due to appear in Gisborne District Court on Friday.
