This is the first picture of a man who died in hospital days after allegedly being attacked on a south London bus.

Julian Joseph, 36, lost his fight for life in hospital on Saturday, 11 days after being found with severe head injuries on the lower deck of the Number 53 in New Cross.

An online fundraiser set up by relative Charley Eastman has raised more than £1,000 to help pay for his funeral.

She wrote: “Julian was a son, grandson, brother, cousin, uncle and friend and will be truly missed by all who knew him. The passing of Julian has left our mother heart broken.

“We have been told that Julian had never met the attacker before this but was still chosen as a victim.”

Neighbours of Mr Joseph, who lived alone in a flat in Deptford said he “kept himself to himself”.

Police and paramedics were called reports of an assault on the bus in New Cross Road, near the junction with Alpha Road, at 12.20am on March 13.

A 32-year-old man charged with GBH with intent is due to appear at Woolwich Crown Court on April 13.
