A 24-YEAR-OLD man has been charged with murder after a Sydney CBD brawl which left one person dead.

Van Chi Dang, 31, died from brain injuries after the fight outside the Star Hotel during the early hours of May 23.

The 24-year-old from Baulkham Hills, in Sydney’s northwest, handed himself into City Central police station yesterday afternoon.

He was charged with murdering Dang and is due to appear at Central Local Court this morning.

A number of men were involved in the fight, at the corner of Sussex and Goulburn streets, which left Mr Dang motionless on the footpath.

Police arrested three people at the scene, charging one with affray (not linked to Mr Dang’s injuries) and releasing the other two without charge.

The victim’s brother, Van Thoi Dang, joined police appeals to catch the person responsible, saying his brother had loved life and was a bit of a “smart arse” but not a violent man.
