A shirtless jogger and a man he's accused of killing with a single punch near a South Brisbane pub knew each other, police say.

Queensland Police are hunting for the jogger who attacked Timothy Lang on Saturday morning.

The 48-year-old died in a Brisbane hospital on Monday when his life support was turned off.

Police have established the two men knew each other, but have not said how.

The one-punch attack followed an alleged exchange of words between the pair near South Brisbane's Fox Hotel.
