A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman was found beheaded in a back garden in north London, according to reports.
The victim was found at an address in Nightingale Road, Edmonton just after 1pm after police received reports of a stabbing.
Witnesses reported seeing a man running around the area as police arrived on the street.
The Metropolitan Police said the man was detained by firearms officers and a taser was used by officers.
One officer was injured during the arrest and is believed to have suffered a broken wrist.
It is not known what weapon was used.
Detective Chief Inspector John Sandlin, who is leading the investigation, said: "This was a highly visible attack in broad daylight on a residential street.
"I can understand why this may cause people concern, however we are confident that we are not looking for anyone else at this stage.
"Whilst it is too early to speculate on what the motive behind this attack was I am confident, based on the information currently available to me, that it is not terrorist related.
"Local officers and specialist detectives are at the scene and will remain there for many hours to come.
"Specially trained family liaison officers will be deployed to support the family; we request that their privacy is respected at this very difficult time."
Ambulance crews and an air ambulance were called but the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Metropolitan Police tweeted that they have not yet spoken to the woman's next of kin.
"We are not prepared to comment on the exact nature of the woman's injuries," they said.
