Man, 47, arrested after two crossbow attacks in London

A 47-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following two distinct crossbow assaults in London. He is currently detained at a police station in east London, having been apprehended last night around 11 pm. Police disclosed that a search of his residence after his arrest uncovered a crossbow, knives, and other weaponry. These events follow incidents where a man and a woman sustained injuries from crossbow attacks, purportedly connected, in Shoreditch.

Mother-of-two Nazarine Cazley was harpooned in the back of the head near Arnold Circus, a residential square, on March 4.

Another incident ten days later occurred 200ft away.
