A man has been charged with trying to steal from an ambulance while crews treated a patient in the street.
It is alleged he tried to steal from the ambulance’s glove box while it was parked in Walton Street, Oxford, as paramedics gave emergency treatment to a 48-year-old man with a head injury at 1.45am.
Christopher Rees, 33, of no fixed abode, is accused of attempted theft from a motor vehicle and shouting racist abuse when he was confronted. He was due to appear at Oxford Magistrates' Court today.
