One eyewitness told the Oxford Times that she saw a man holding two knives getting tased by police.
There were two men, I think civilians, chasing him and one was on the phone maybe ringing the police. They restrained him outside of the Spar.
A woman police officer tasered him and he dropped the knives. Other police came soon after. We ran out but I stayed back. I was with my daughter who went to help control the traffic so the police cars could get through.
I saw a mother and young daughter come out of Poundland who had been inside. They looked very harassed. My first reaction was I couldn't believe it.
Another man nearby received a minor injury to his thumb and officers are trying to establish whether this was connected.
