A Portland man is charged with murder following the death of a man over the weekend.

Police were called to Forest Ave. near the YMCA following reports of an assault Friday night.

When they arrived, police say they found David Hannauer, 60, unconscious and suffering from serious injuries.

According to the Portland Press Herald, Hannauer, was transported to Maine Medical Center, where he died Saturday afternoon.

Police are urging anyone who may have witnessed something that night to give them a call.
