Two women were allegedly assaulted after asking a man to stop feeding pigeons in Finsbury Park.

Police and paramedics from London Ambulance Service were called to the park at about 8.30am on Friday after two women sustained head and facial injuries.

A woman in her 30s had been at the park with her daughter and saw a man feeding the birds.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the woman asked the man to stop before she was allegedly assaulted.

A second woman, who is in her 20s, intervened and was also assaulted, police said.

Both women received minor injuries and did not require hospital treatment.

Police are now appealing for information on the alleged incident and want to speak to a man seen in the park.

He is described as white with a ginger beard and was wearing black trousers, a black jacket and appeared unkempt.

No arrests have been made and enquiries are ongoing.

Anyone with information should call Haringey police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
