A young man is seriously injured in hospital today after he was shot in the street in north London.
Armed police and paramedics raced to the scene after the man, aged in his 20s, was gunned down in Kentish Town late last night.
He was rushed to hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg.
Emergency services were called to reports of a gun being fired in Prince of Wales Road at 10.35pm.
A resident, who lives nearby and asked not to be named, told the Standard: “I didn't hear the gun go off as I was watching bake off but it happened about 30m from my house.
“We noticed flashing lights outside our window and they weren't going away so we looked outside.
“We saw about 10-12 police officers, several cars, one unmarked. There were armed police there as well. Some were taking statements.
“There was an ambulance and a fire engine and the ambulance was there for about half an hour before it left. From what I heard it was happened near Talacre park.”
The man remains in hospital in a stable condition today, police said.
A Met Police spokesman said no arrests have been made.
Enquiries are ongoing.
