A TEENAGER arrested over an attack on a great-grandfather from Nelson has been rebailed until November.
David Hutchinson, 63, was assaulted near his home in Leeds Road on June 15 and died 13 days later.
A 16-year-old youth from Nelson, who was arrested shortly after the attack on suspicion of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, answered bail yesterday and has been told he must report to Lancashire Police again on November 27.
No murder enquiry has been launched by the force.
Mr Hutchinson, nicknamed ‘Scrapyard’ by his friends, worked at Pendle Council for 18 years.
