The man who sustained serious injuries following an incident in Tallow Co. Waterford last week, has died.
The victim, in his mid 20s, was taken to Cork University Hospital for treatment.
It's understood the young man was in a critical condition and was placed in an induced coma.
However, Gardaí confirmed this evening that the young man has tragically passed away.
Gardaí in Dungarvan are investigating the incident which happened on Barrack Street in Tallow shortly after midnight on Wednesday, November 2nd.
A man in his 30s was arrested and charged in connection with the assault last week and appeared before a special sitting of Carrick-on-Suir district court.
A spokesperson has said that as the matter is before the courts, they cannot provide further comment.
Following the assault, Gardaí were particularly appealing to anyone who was in the area of Barrack Street at the time of the assault or anyone who might have been travelling on the midnight bus from Lismore to Tallow on the night of the incident to contact Gardaí.
