Find London's crossbow sniper: Police scour CCTV as they hunt for culprit ... trends now

Police are trawling through CCTV in the hunt for London's crossbow 'sniper' who shot two residents in a Shoreditch estate. 

Tests are being carried out on the crossbow bolts used in the attack which were fired into the neck of a 20-year-old man and harpooned Nazarine Cazley, 44, in the head near her front door. 

The mother-of-two miraculously survived having been rushed to hospital with the bolt still embedded into the back of her skull. Her husband says she is now 'living in fear' as the attacker is still roaming free.

She was the first victim of the crossbow 'sniper' in Arnold Circus, on the Boundary estate, where people have levelled criticism at the Metropolitan police, claiming officers didn't initially take the attack seriously. 

Ten days later, the crossbow sniper took aim again when a man aged in his twenties was hit in the neck as he sat on a bench in the Arnold Circus gardens - just 200 yards away from the spot where Mrs Cazley was struck. 

Two days after Nazarine Cazley, 44, was attacked, her husband put up signs (pictured) around Arnold Circus, in Shoreditch, asking for help and offering a cash reward to get 'justice'

Scotland Yard say the attacks are linked. Both of the victims did not suffer life-threatening or life-changing injuries. 

Detectives are said to be looking into the possibility the bolts could have been fired from one of the £700,000 Victorian flats overlooking the gardens.

Patrols in the area were beefed up in the hunt to identify the person behind the horrifying attacks that have left people living in the trendy area terrified. 

Locals are considering altering their walking routes out of fear they could be the 'sniper's' next target. 

Mrs Cazley's husband, Clifton, hit out at those investigating, saying his wife's ordeal wasn't treated seriously until the second attack.

Two days after her ordeal, he put up signs around Arnold Circus asking for help and offering a cash reward to get 'justice'.

But instead of calls offering assistance, he only received a call from the police asking him to take them down, he claimed.

Speaking to The Times, he said he was with his son, 18, at their home when he heard his wife screaming his name from the street below.

The carer had been shot in the back of the head by a crossbow bolt while walking home from work on March 4, at 7.44pm.

He described the bolt as having a red and black shaft with a hook on the end.

While Mrs Cazley's injuries are not life-changing, according to the police, her husband said she is in severe pain and is too terrified to venture outside.

Subera Rabby, who called an ambulance, said: 'I've never seen anything like that. It's so scary'

The family - who live in a council lat -  have asked to be moved to a different area.

Mr Cazley claimed that the police didn't treat the attack seriously enough at first.

He told The Times how he put up hand-written signs reading: 'It could have
