A teenager attempted to rob a Banbury pensioner in his own garage.

The 69-year-old man was working in the garage of his home in Bretch Hill when the youth appeared with a scarf covering his face.

He demanded money and pushed the man against the car. He then demanded the car keys but was scared off by a passer-by and ran away.

He is described as 5 ft 6ins, aged about 16, of light build, with short dark hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a dark blue jacket with white lines on the sleeves, jeans and trainers.
