An 18-year-old woman was taken to hospital after being hit by a suspected BB gun pellet fired from a vehicle in north London Wednesday.
The woman was walking with a group of friends on the north sidewalk along Broughdale Avenue around midnight when a vehicle drove by. As the vehicle passed the group a person pointed what appeared to be a handgun out the back window and fired.
The projectile hit the 18-year-old causing serious, non-life threatening injuries. She was taken to hospital by paramedics.
London police were called and launched an investigation.
Investigators with the major crime section believe the woman was hit by a "projectile" from a BB gun. The suspect vehicle is described as a dark, possibly black, four door sedan.
Police are asking anyone with video surveillance, including dashcam, cellphone or doorbell camera footage on Broughdale Avenue, Audrey Avenue or Richmond Street to call them at 519-661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
"The investigation is in its early stages, and more information will be provided as appropriate," police said.
