Man dies after brutal beatdown

A man who was beaten into a coma on the street in Inwood last week has died, officials said Tuesday.

Lucio Bravo, 69, had been on life support since the vicious attack Thursday night, police said.

Branlee Gonzalez, 19, was arrested Monday and charged with assault for the beating. He was ordered held without bail Tuesday and could face a murder rap now that the victim is dead, sources said.

Bravo was talking politics with another man while sitting on Sherman Avenue near Dyckman Street around 4 a.m. when both were attacked. The other man, Juan Calderon, 39, was less seriously injured.

It wasn’t immediately clear why the men were set upon.

Gonzalez attacked the two before being pulled away by a female companion, cops said.
