Three people have been hurt in a chemical incident in Banbury this morning.
An area at the back of shops in Bridge Street has been closed off by paramedics.
It is understood three people have suffered severe skin irritations and vomiting and are being decontaminated by ambulance crews before being taken to The Horton Hospital.
The ambulance service has sent its chemical, biological, radioactive and nuclear decontamination unit along with specialist staff to deal with the incident.
An ambulance spokesman said it was not known yet what had caused the injuries to the victims.
