Appeal to identify victim of hit and run collision in Wembley
Police are appealing to identify a woman, who is believed to have been injured following a hit and run collision near Wembley Arena on Thursday, 17 April.
The incident took place at Engineers Way at around 23:10hrs. The area was busy with many people having just left a concert by the artist Alkaline.
Footage filmed by a member of the public shows the woman dancing in the road and narrowly avoiding passing vehicles.
A car can then be seen driving into her and carrying her around 30 yards on the bonnet before she is thrown to the floor.
The car did not stop at the scene. Members of the public called an ambulance but the woman was no longer there when officers and paramedics arrived.
Officers carried out a search of the area and arrested a 33-year-old woman on suspicion of dangerous driving and driving whilst over the prescribed alcohol limit.
She has since been released on bail to a date in early June.
Investigating officers want to identify the woman in the footage to speak to her about the incident, to ensure she is okay and that she gets appropriate medical attention.
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or message @MetCC on X giving the reference 8317/17APR.
To remain 100% anonymous contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
