Mystery surrounds a police cordon that closed off a busy high street this morning (October 9).
Neighbours reported hearing screams coming from a man in Hoe Street, Walthamstow at around 2am and a pool of blood could be seen on the pavement.
A woman, who did not want to be named, living above the scene was woken by the disturbance.
She said: “I heard a man screaming. It was so loud it woke up my daughter. I came to the window to look but it was dark and I couldn’t see anything.
“The man didn’t shout anything that I could understand.
“All I heard was the screams. I was really scared because I didn’t know what was happening.”
A Met police spokesman said that they cannot locate the incident in their database.
