A 43-year-old woman has been arrested after filing a fake report of a stabbing.
Armed response officers and police dog handlers were called, and the force helicopter scrambled to East Oxford at about 9pm on Monday after reports that a man had been stabbed and his attacker was on the run.
Later in the evening a woman was arrested on suspicion of wasting police time.
She has been released on bail until December 16 pending further inquiries.
