A man has died after being assaulted on board a bus in south London.
Julian Joseph, 36, was attacked by two men on a route 53 bus in New Cross almost two weeks ago.
He was taken to hospital with a "severe head injury" but died on Saturday afternoon, police said.
Murder squad detectives are investigating the incident in New Cross Road, near the junction with Alpha Road, just after midnight on March 13.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said Mr Joseph's next of kin were aware, adding: "A 32-year-old male was charged on Friday, 16 March in connection with this incident and remains in custody."
It comes amid an horrific spell of violent crime in London.
