Savanna on Bristol Street in Birmingham city centre

A BIRMINGHAM bar has been forced to shut pending a full review of its licence after a man died following an attack outside.

Joshua Johnson-Hector suffered a serious head injury outside the Savanna restaurant and cocktail bar in Bristol Street in the early hours of Sunday, December 28.

The 31-year-old was taken to hospital but died on Monday, December 29.

West Midlands Police have now requested an review of the premises licence over serious concerns about crime and disorder.

The licence is for Shamrock, trading as Savanna, which is a restaurant serving Eritrean and Ethiopian food, as well as a cocktail bar.
