A man has been shot in broad daylight in north London.
Police were called to Fladbury Road in Tottenham at about 1.45pm on Sunday. Officers, including an armed response unit, found a man suffering gunshot injuries.
The victim, aged in his 20s, was taken to hospital. Police said on Sunday evening that his injuries were not life threatening.
John Wayne Lewis, 56, who lives nearby, said he gave first aid to the victim. He told the Standard: "I was walking across the road and thought I heard two random bangs. Then I heard someone screaming: 'Phone an ambulance.'
"Then there was a young man struggling towards me. He said: 'I've been shot.' I put him down and noticed the blood pumping out of his leg.
"I treated him and shouted for a neighbour to get some rags. He was awake and talking, but then you could see he was slipping into shock. He wasn't making sense."
Of the shooting, he added: "It's ridiculous. At that time as well, nearly 2pm. A baptist church had just finished nearby and there were families walking around."
No arrests have been made.
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101, quoting CAD3297 of December 30, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
