A woman was found with serious burns yesterday after firefighters were called to a block of flats in Tottenham.
The woman, aged 53, was found at around 1pm with burns to her chest, face and neck on the landing outside her flat in Bronhill Terrace, Lansdowne Road.
Firefighters found no sign of a fire at the scene and called ambulance crews who rushed the woman to a specialist burns unit at Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford, Essex.
A spokeswoman for Haringey Police said the woman is currently in a “critical condition”, adding: “We are not treating the incident as suspicious but we are keeping an open mind.”
Haringey CID are investigating and urge anyone with information relating to the incident to call DC Marysia Temple on 020 8345 0831, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
