An air ambulance has been called to a football club in Oxford.
The helicopter landed on the Barton United Football Club field behind Fettiplace Road just after 10am and took off at around 10.45am this morning (Tuesday, July 23).
An onlooker who wished to remain anonymous said: “There was an ambulance speeding from Ilsley Road and turning right on Fettiplace Road once the helicopter landed.
“No police were seen driving around. I was filming from my room, so I didn’t see if there were any police cars at the scene.”
