A man who robbed a bus and threatened the driver with a needle is being sought by police.

Thames Valley Police said the man boarded the bus at Barns Road, Cowley in Oxford at about 23:15 BST on Saturday.

He took a quantity of cash from the till and made off down a path next to Templars Bar after the driver triggered an alarm.

Before getting on the bus, the man cycled down Barns Road, police said.

He was described as a white man aged in his thirties, about 6ft tall and was wearing a blue North Face jacket with the hood up.
