Detectives are appealing for witnesses after a woman was shot in Tottenham in the early hours of Tuesday morning (27th).

At 6.28am, police were alerted by London Ambulance Service to reports that someone had been shot at the junction of West Green Road and Grove Park Road. Officers attended with paramedics but nobody with injuries was found. They checked nearby hospitals and at around 6.50am were able to confirm that a 24-year-old woman had been taken to a North London hospital without the assistance of the emergency services.

She remains in hospital undergoing treatment. Her condition has been assessed as not life-threatening.

Initial enquiries suggest the woman was shot in the West Green Road area shortly before 6.30am. Despite the time of the incident, there were a significant number of people around as a party was taking place nearby.

Officers are keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident or who saw or heard anything suspicious at around that time.

Any piece of information could be crucial in piecing together what took place. Anyone with information is asked to call 101 giving the reference 1148/27DEC.

Information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, online or by calling 0800 555 111.
