A YOUNG man has died in hospital after falling off a party bike earlier this week.

Niall Lyttle was rushed to the Royal Victoria Hospital after the incident happened in the Amelia Street area, behind Robinson’s bar in Belfast on Wednesday at 6.20pm.

Niall had been on a team building exercise with a group from Queen’s University when he fell from a 15-seater Wee Toast Tours bike after becoming ill, according to Belfast Live.

Confirming the news of his death today, police said it was not being treated as suspicious.

A PSNI spokesperson said: “Police can confirm that a man involved in a fall from a moving vehicle in Belfast city centre on Wednesday 14 November has died in hospital.

“He was one of the kindest, hard working and most courageous young man we’ve had the opportunity of knowing.

“He turned into a gentle giant just like his father and he was a cheeky chappy that always loved putting a smile on your face.

“Niall’s spirit will live on and he’ll be remembered every time we put our jersey on. Rest in peace dear Niall. Once a Blaze always a Blaze.”
