The appeal was launched after footage emerged showing the woman, who is believed to have been injured, being carried on the bonnet of a car for 30 yards during the hit-and-run.

The incident happened in Engineers Way near Wembley Arena at about 11.10pm on Thursday, the Metropolitan Police said.

Footage filmed by a member of the public shows the woman dancing in the road and narrowly avoiding passing vehicles, the Met said.

A car can then be seen driving into her and carrying her around 30 yards on the bonnet before she is thrown to the floor, the force added.

The car did not stop at the scene, police said. Members of the public called an ambulance but the woman was no longer there when officers and paramedics arrived.

The force confirmed that a 33-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and driving while over the prescribed alcohol limit.

She has since been released on bail to a date in early June.
