A PARK in Oxford has been closed off by the police after an incident last night.
About seven police cars currently surround the park just off Wood Farm Road, behind the shops in Atkyns Road and about 10 officers are on the scene.
An eyewitness said: “There was trouble last night but we don’t know anything more about it - the whole park has been closed off.”
