FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Fargo police say a man brutally beaten outside of a bar last weekend has died.

Police said they were notified early Friday of the death of 35-year-old Joey Gaarsland. He had been in the hospital since early Sunday, in critical condition with a brain injury.

Police this week arrested three men from Fargo and a man from Denver in the alleged assault. Authorities say Gaarsland's wife and a bystander also were assaulted in the altercation that started inside Rick's Bar and continued later in the parking lot.

Police say they are working with the Cass County State's Attorney's Office on how to proceed with the case in light of Gaarsland's death.
