After a shotgun attack in South London last night, a man is fighting for his life.
A 3.30 a.m. attack in Wandsworth left five males in their twenties with gunshot and knife wounds.
It comes after a kid was stabbed in broad daylight in Tottenham, becoming the seventh person to be stabbed in London in less than 24 hours.
The inquiry is being led by Trident detectives from the Specialist Crime Command, who are collaborating closely with their colleagues from the Central South Command Unit.
Detective Sergeant Matt Doohan, who is leading the investigation, said: ‘The investigation into this offence, and what took place, is in its early stages.
‘This incident has occurred in the very early hours of Saturday morning when members of the public were likely to have been asleep.
‘However, we need the support and help of our communities to bring those individuals who are willing to endanger others by using firearms and knives on the streets of London to justice and to help us in preventing further people from being injured in similar circumstances.
‘If you do not wish to speak with police, and to stay completely anonymous, please contact the charity Crimestoppers.’
There have been no arrests, and the investigation is ongoing.
