A 21-year-old man died from a head injury following an altercation in a York street, an inquest has heard.
Sam Wilson, of Haxby, was walking in Haxby Road towards York with a friend in the early hours of Saturday, October 11, when they were approached by a number of men and an altercation took place, coroner Jonathan Leach said.
Mr Wilson was allegedly punched and fell into the road near the Nuffield Hospital, and was struck by a taxi heading towards York, the inquest heard yesterday at New Earswick Folk Hall.
Coroner Jonathan Leach said a post-mortem examination had been carried out to find the cause of Mr Wilson’s death, which found he had died from a head injury.
The inquest was adjourned to be completed at a later date. Three men have appeared in court charged with manslaughter.
