A TEENAGER has been arrested after a man was stabbed in a Didcot park.

Sniffer dogs and forensic teams were seen scouring Great Western Park earlier this week after an 18-year-old man was attacked on Sunday night.

He was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital with non-life threatening injuries where he remains in a stable condition.

Police have revealed that a 16-year-old boy was arrested on Monday on suspicion of attempted robbery and wounding with intent.

He has been bailed until March 15.

Residents noticed a major police presence in Blackthorn Road from about 10.30pm on Sunday and officers were still guarding the area on Monday morning.

Several neighbours told the Oxford Mail they saw sniffer dogs and forensics entering the taped-off area, which is a small park behind Stephen Freeman Community Primary School.

Residents said they were told nothing by police about the nature of the incident.
