The two incidents happened 10 days apart, but are believed to be linked. Both victims were taken to hospital.
A manhunt is under way after two suspected crossbow attacks in east London, which police believe are linked. A 44-year-old woman is said to have been hit in the head with a crossbow bolt as she crossed the road by Clifton House in Shoreditch at about 7.44pm on Monday 4 March. Then, on Thursday 14 March, a 20-year-old man was injured in the neck by a crossbow bolt near Arnold Circus, about 60 metres from the scene of the first attack, at about 7.27pm.
'You may have seen something on the days when these offences occurred, or you might have seen or heard something in the local area that you think is suspicious and may be linked to these incidents,' he added, calling for the public's help. 'If you do have any information please come forward and speak to us. You can either speak with a police officer, or call us on 101.
