The incident happened on Myton Road around lunchtime last Friday (March 3).

An unknown man is reported to have walked into the road and two cars were involved in a collision close to the Banbury Road junction.

While details were being exchanged, a second man approached them and showed a black wallet stating he was an off-duty police officer.

He was thought to be wearing a black cap and black Parka-style jacket.
