Oxford: Suspected World War Two grenade 'magnetically fished' from River Thames

Park End Street in Oxford was closed for the suspected grenade to be "magnetically fished" out of the river

The removal of a suspected World War Two grenade that was "magnetically fished" out of the River Thames closed a key city centre road.

Thames Valley Police said officers temporarily closed Park End Street in Oxford at about 17:00 BST on Sunday.

A spokesperson said the grenade was "significantly corroded" so it was "not possible to say with certainty" if it was "inert or potentially live".

The road was reopened by about 18:50 after it was removed and destroyed.
