A woman is fighting for her life after falling from a building and landing on a female pedestrian below in north London.
Passers-by screamed in horror as the incident unfolded near The Mall shopping centre in High Road, Wood Green at 4.50pm on Wednesday.
The busy shopping district was closed between Gladstone Avenue and Alexandra Road as Metropolitan Police officers and emergency crews dealt with the aftermath.
Both women, whose ages are not known, were taken to hospital in critical conditions.
But Scotland Yard said on Thursday morning the pedestrian was no longer in a life-threatening condition.
A police spokesman said: “We were called by London Ambulance Service at 4.50pm on Wednesday April 12, to reports of a woman injured after falling from height in High Road, Wood Green.
“Another woman sustained injuries as a result of the incident.
“Enquiries into the circumstances are ongoing and officers are working to trace their next of kin.”
