SA Police arrest man for alleged arson after North Adelaide’s Oxford Hotel building burns

A man has been arrested and charged with arson after a building housing a heritage-listed pub went up in flames on Saturday morning.

The ***** hit the Oxford Hotel complex in North Adelaide, with emergency services called to the O’Connell Street address about 7am with smoke and flames coming out of the building.

***** crews extinguished the blaze and no-one was injured in the incident, the police said on Sunday, but the flames caused significant damage to the building.

Photos from the scene show an extensive emergency response, with wild flames burning from the top of the building, which sits in the heart of the plush inner-city district.
