Man held over attempted abduction of woman, 25, in Haringey

A man has been arrested on suspicion of the abduction of a woman in north London.

Metropolitan Police officers were called to Plevna Crescent in Haringey at around 6.40pm on Saturday to reports that a young girl had been seen shouting for help from a car.

Officers have since confirmed it was a 25-year-old woman and said she is now safe and well and being offered support.

Police arrested a 26-year-old man on suspicion of abduction at an address in Haringey on Monday and he has been released on bail.

Detective Inspector Kelly Hodgson said: "We recognise that incidents such as this will inevitably cause concern among the local community. I would like to reassure them that our primary aim has been to establish the safety and welfare of the female involved, who we now know to be an adult woman.

"I would like to thank the member of the public who called us out of concern for the woman, and those people who have since contacted us with further information.

"The investigation is ongoing but at this stage it is being treated as a domestic incident."
