The subway is sealed off
A CITY centre underpass was closed off for several hours on New Year’s Eve following an assault.
A 29-year-old man suffered head injuries after he was attacked at about 3.30am in the subway at the junction of New Road and Castle Street.
He was treated at Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital.
Police spokesman Chris Kearney said two men had been arrested and the subway was closed to allow investigations to be carried out.
He appealed for anyone with information to contact the police on 08458 505 505 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
