POLICE have made an arrest after a man was punched in the face in a notorious Oxford alleyway.
A 19-year-old man, of no fixed abode, was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of robbery.
It comes more than than two months after the robbery took place in Bulwarks Lane in the city centre, on Friday, October 26.
The victim, a 21-year-old man, was punched and had his phone stolen at about 1.35am.
The suspect has been released on police bail until 28 February.
Bulwarks Lane runs between George Street and New Road.
In 2008 Oxfordshire County Council proposed closing the alleyway between dawn and dusk after a spate of assaults, muggings and drug deals.
The idea was scrapped in 2010, however, after crime reports reduced and Nuffield College withdrew its support for the gates.
Last year police appealed for information after a man was punched in the head in Bulwarks Lane in December 2017, knocking out several of his teeth.
