Police on the scene this morning.
“[After the crash] someone caught up with him and KO’d him.”
A lot had been happening on the street recently, including one resident assaulting a police officer, the man said.
Another neighbour told the Herald she arrived home after the incident, but a family member had spoken of violent scenes earlier in the evening.
“[They said] a person smashed another person with a bottle on the head.”
An investigation is under way, police said this morning.
No charges have been laid while officers worked “to establish the circumstances of the incident”.
Police officers could be seen going door-to-door on Marshall St this morning, as they spoke to nearby residents and tried to piece together what happened.
