FOUR people have been arrested in connection with the death of a man in hospital after an incident in a North Shields street.
Police were called to the town's Rudyerd Street just before 2am on Tuesday to investigate reports that a man had been injured.
The man, believed to be in his 40s, was taken to North Tyneside General Hospital, but died later that morning from his injuries.
