A man run over by a passing car during a brawl at St Albans, in Melbourne’s north-west last night, has died in hospital.

Police believe the victim was lying on Furlong Road after getting into a fight with another man about 11:30pm (AEDT).

The 25-year-old from Point Cook was run over by a passing car and later died at the Sunshine hospital.

The other man involved in the fight, a 29-year-old from Deer Park, handed himself into police and was charged with assault.

He will face the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Sunday.

The motorist stopped at the scene and was questioned by police.
