Two teenagers have been arrested in connection with a serious assault on a Cowley social club steward.

Chris Parrott, 50, was left covered in blood after the attack outside the Morris Motors Athletics and Social Club a month ago.

The alleged attack took place on March 17 after Mr Parrott approached a gang of eight youths, some as young as 14. He was left with fractures to his jaw, cheekbone and eye socket, and lost three front teeth.

Police said two 17-year-old youths had been interviewed and remanded on police bail until May 10.

As reported in the Oxford Mail this week, Mr Parrott has now decided to emigrate to Tenerife with his wife, Marilyn.
