BLOOD found by Magdalen Bridge has sparked a police search for an injured person this morning.

A police cordon is in place around Magdalen Tower and the punt station after police were called to reports of blood on the pavement at 8.04am.

Police spokesman Rhianne Pope said: “The area is cordoned while police search for anyone who is injured but there are no reports of them having found anyone injured yet.”

The cordon is in place but traffic is still passing across the bridge.
