Suspected WW2 grenade 'fished' from River Thames shuts down city centre road in Oxford
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".
