Police are hunting for a man who threatened a stranger with a crossbow in east London.

The Met say this happened last month on Alfred Street in Tower Hamlets.

The victim suffered no injuries.

Detectives are considering that he could be connected to two similar crossbow incidents in Shoreditch in March this year.

"We would urge everyone to look at the photo and think about whether they recognise him or know where he may be."
