Police arrested two young men at 6am this morning on suspicion of attempted murder in connection with the attack on Teddy Hall student Kentaro Ikeda.
The two 18-year-old men are currently being questioned by police at St Aldate’s police station, where they are in custody. Thames Valley Police made the arrests as part of their investigation into the incident, which happened two nights ago. Mr Ikeda was found at 2am by passers-by on a cycle path north of the University Parks. He is currently in a critical condition in hospital with severe head injuries.
The Oxford Mail have reported that Mr Ikeda’s mother has flown from Japan to be by her son’s bedside.
More soon.
