A knife-wielding man who police fired a Taser at when he scaled a signal gantry at Banbury Station on Monday was still in a stable condition in hospital yesterday.
The man fell from the gantry at about 2pm, following a five-hour stand-off with police.
Doctors at Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital were still assessing his condition yesterday, so British Transport Police said it had yet to speak to him.
Police have not confirmed whether the Taser hit the man, but the Independent Police Complaints Commission will investigate the incident.
