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