A man has died after being found just yards from Oxford's city centre police station.

Paramedics were called to St Aldate's outside the entrance to the police station shortly after midnight.

A spokesman for the ambulance service said the man was found with multiple head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police spokesman David Paull said a police officer found the man in the road and he was dead.

The immediate area was closed until 7am.

He said he did not know if a vehicle was involved and could not comment on reports the man was struck by a bus.
