NEGOTIATORS talked a man out of a lake near Berinsfield last night.

Emergency services, including 13 police officers, were called to the scene at Queenford Lakes off Burcot Lane at 12.15am.

A police spokesman said relatives of the 36-year-old from the village man raised the alarm due to concerns over his welfare.

The man walked into the lake up to his chest but paramedics negotiated him out of the water at 1.30pm.

He was taken to Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital where his condition is not known.
