A 56-year-old man has died after an alleged assault at a hotel in Goulburn, regional New South Wales, with a 39-year-old man charged over the incident.
Police said the pair were involved in an altercation at the hotel on Bradley Street at about 5.50pm on Friday. Officers arrived shortly afterwards and found the older man unresponsive.
They performed CPR until paramedics reached the scene, but the man died despite efforts to revive him.
The younger man was arrested and taken to hospital for treatment for a head laceration. After being discharged, he was taken to Goulburn Police Station and charged with common assault.
He was granted conditional bail and is due to appear before Goulburn Local Court on 16 December.
A report will be prepared for the coroner as investigations continue. Police have urged anyone with information to contact Goulburn Police or Crime Stoppers.
