A woman was left with a broken leg after being attacked by a group of other women in a row over a taxi.

The 30-year-old was waiting outside a sports bar with her boyfriend when an argument broke out with another group who were also looking for a cab.

A fight then ensued, leaving both the woman and her boyfriend injured.

The woman suffered a broken leg, and bruising to her thigh, finger and one arm. She was taken to hospital for treatment.

Police have now released CCTV of a woman wanted in connection with the assault just after 3am on Sunday, July 23, outside the Champs Sports Bar and Grill on Chapel Road in Ilford.

Police want to speak to this woman in connection with the incident

Detective Constable Jonathan Lam, from the East Area Command, said: ”As the victim patiently waited for her taxi, she was attacked by a boisterous crowd intent on taking the taxi as soon as it pulled up outside the sports bar.

"I would appeal to anyone who recognises this woman to contact us."

The suspect is described as a woman in her 30s, with long dark hair, dark rimmed glasses, and wearing a dark top with light trousers.

Anyone with information should contact police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
