A 60-YEAR-OLD man died following an altercation in the town centre over the weekend.
Police were called at around 10.30pm on Saturday following reports that a man had been attacked on Pitt Street West.
The man was taken to hospital but died on Wednesday from his injuries.
A 38-year-old man, Ricky Braithwaite, of Newton Street, was arrested shortly after the incident and was later charged with grievous bodily harm.
He was released on bail and will appear in court on October 5.
Enquiries are ongoing into the incident.
A spokes person for South Yorkshire Police said: “Anyone who witnessed the incident, or who has information that could assist with our enquiries, is asked to call 101.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
