Police in Oxford have taped off some woods in Oxford amid an emergency incident.
A collection of over ten Thames Valley Police cars and Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service fire engines were called to Oxford Ice Rink throughout Tuesday morning.
The car park on Oxpens Road as well as the neighbouring footpath were both cordoned off by the emergency services.
Bridges to the woods which back onto the Ice Rink were also guarded by Thames Valley Police officers after a chemical leak.
