Irish police investigating sexual assault at Oxegen

The Irish Gardaí are investigating an alleged sexual assault at the Oxegen Festival.

It's claimed the incident took place on the opening night (July 11) and follows the arrest of a juvenile in connection with a different alleged sexual assault on Thursday night (10) in the build-up to the festival, reports RTE.

The teenager from the earlier assault was later released, with a report to be sent to Ireland's Director Of Public Prosecutions.

There have also been several arrests for public order and drugs offences throughout the weekend.
