SHOT FROM ABOVE?

POLICE believe the crossbow bolt shot into The Oval cricket ground during a game may have been fired from a nearby roof terrace.
Detectives were seen searching above flats.
The arrow landed on the pitch and narrowly missed Surrey player Rory Burns.
One resident said: “A member of the public could have conned their way in. Fifty flats have access to that terrace.”
Surrey’s First Division match in South London was abandoned.
Police hope a spectator may have captured the shot on video and have appealed for help.
A spokesman said: “This was a reckless action.”
