London residents have described their terror after a lunatic attacked two people with a crossbow in the trendy area of Shoreditch in London.
One of the victims, Nazarine Cazley, 44, is lucky to be alive after being harpooned in the back of the head near her home.
She said: 'The first thing was hearing the screaming, I came out, blood stain on the floor, there was a crossbow sticking out of her head. Detective Chief Superintendent James Conway, who is responsible for policing in Hackney and Tower Hamlets, said: 'There are significant efforts to find whoever carried out these assaults, and we are committed to keeping the community updated over the coming days, as we know how worrying this is.
'My team are progressing a number of lines of enquiry, including identifying witnesses and exploring both CCTV and forensic opportunities. 'If you do not feel comfortable speaking with officers directly, please do not let that stop you sharing information, as you can call Crimestoppers anonymously.
