Police have cordoned off part of a busy street in Abingdon to allow paramedics to deal with an ongoing incident.

Thames Valley Police blocked off a short section of Ock Street close to the town centre at about 3pm so paramedics could park their ambulances close to flats.

A large number of paramedics could be seen gathering in the entrance to a block of flats close to Reeves fish and chip shop.
