Her husband Clifton said: “I can’t believe that somebody could do something like this. She is living in fear.”

Police linked the two attacks as the hunt continues.

Local Marcus Patton, 53, a graphic designer, said: “People are now frightened to death.

“Police have been going inside some of the blocks. This almost feels like a sniper to me.”

He added: “It’s crazy to see how easy it is to buy a crossbow on Amazon. I went online after these attacks and I found one for £28.”

Det Chief Supt James Conway of the Met said: “I understand local people will be distressed by these incidents, but we would urge them to go about their business.”
