A 52-YEAR-OLD man has denied 'punching' another man at a petrol station in 2017, contributing to his death two years later.
Tyren Pollard, of Newbury Avenue, Sale, has pleaded not guilty to unlawfully killing and maliciously wounding Bernard Hirsch at the Asda petrol station on Marsland Road.
Mr Hirsch, who died aged 43 in March 2020 due to Covid, was admitted to Wythenshawe Hospital days after the incident in December 2017 where scans revealed he had a bleed on the brain that left him 'profoundly' disabled.
A postmortem examination concluded that a head injury had also contributed to his death. Giving evidence at Manchester Crown Court on Monday, Mr Pollard admitted there was an altercation at the petrol station, but denied punching Mr Hirsch.
