A STUDENT was taken to hospital after falling into the Castle Mill Stream this morning.

Fire crews from Rewley Road and Kidlington’s rescue tender were called to rescue the woman at 1.45am, who was partially under the bridge in Paradise Street.

She was holding on to an inflatable ring that had been thrown in by friends when firefighters arrived.

Fire crews pulled her from the water and she was taken up a ladder to the bridge.

I'm confused, the canal finishes just shy of Hythe Bridge Street, but she was pulled out By Paradise Street??. Anyway probably the start of many incidents to start on a Weds night with the move of Fuzzy Duck's (the UK's most famous student night, anything goes) to Wahoo.
