POLICE have launched an appeal for information about a man they believe may have been abducted in Oxford.

A member of the public reported seeing someone being bundled into a small vehicle outside the Cape of Good Hope pub, at The Plain, at about 7pm on Friday.

Last night police said they had received no reports of a missing man which matched the incident.

But they have taken the step of releasing a CCTV picture, above, of the man they believe may have been taken against his will.

Dc Rob Barratt said: “I appeal to anyone who recognises him and knows of his whereabouts to get in touch.

“If you were in this area on Friday evening and witnessed the incident, contact police immediately.”

Anyone with information should call police on 08458 505505 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
