A man has been arrested after a woman was reportedly "slammed" to the ground on an east London canal path. Ayla Mellek told Â鶹Éç London she was walking with a friend along the Mile End canal path when a man ran into her with such force she was knocked down despite having "space on the path to pass freely". After the alleged attack on 4 May, the 20-year-old posted her story on TikTok and said she received hundreds of comments from people, most of whom were women, sharing similar experiences. The Metropolitan Police said a 38-year-old man from Whitechapel has been arrested on suspicion of common assault in relation to the alleged attack on Ms Mellek as well as a second incident. Bhavani Vadde has the story.
