A teenager has been charged with murder after an alleged attack on a man.

Metropolitan Police officers were called just after 00:50 GMT on Sunday to reports a man had been assaulted on Boston Road in Hanwell, west London.

A 62-year-old, who has not yet been formally identified but is believed to be Jerald Netto, from Southall, was taken to hospital and died later that day.

A 16-year-old boy was arrested a short time after the incident.

He is due before Ealing Magistrates' Court on Monday.

Two other males were also arrested: a man in his 20s, who has been bailed pending further inquiries, and another 16-year-old boy, released without further action.

Nobody else was being sought, police said.
