The force has since arrested a man in connection with the incident.

A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: “Last month we published an appeal to find Aaron Champion, aged 24, in connection with two assaults on police officers on Saturday 31 August at Evenlode Tower, Blackbird Leys.

“Thames Valley Police has arrested a man in connection with the investigation and is no longer appealing for information.

“We would like to thank the public and the media for sharing our appeal and would ask this appeal is now deleted from any media and social media platforms.”
