A disturbance broke out on Knoll Close in the Stocksbridge area of Sheffield on Saturday April 12 involving what police described as a ‘large group’ of people fighting in the street.

Lee Wesson, 34, was arrested, however, officers identified that he required urgent medical attention. He was rushed to hospital where he died two days later.
