Lisa Denton, 40, was rushed to hospital in critical condition with a head injury shortly after 10pm on Saturday.
She tragically died on Sunday, the morning after the incident.
It is understood that Lisa was punched in the face during the alleged assault on Russell Street in the North Shields area of North Tyneside.

The teenager, from Telford Street in the East Howdon area, has been remanded in custody and is expected to appear before Bedlington Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.

“Our thoughts remain firmly with Lisa’s loved ones at this time. We will continue to support them as they try to navigate a life without Lisa.”
