A man is fighting for life in hospital after being shot in north London.

Six women have been arrested after police found the man, aged in his 20s, with a gunshot wound in Haringey.

Metropolitan Police officers taped off Hornsey High Street at the junction with New River Avenue following the incident at 11pm last night.

Dramatic footage showed police vans and ambulances parked up in the road as officers patrolled the residential street.

All six women are currently being held at a north London police station.

A Met Police spokesman said: “Cordons remain in place at the scene.

“Detectives from the Trident and Area Crime Command are investigating.

“Enquiries into the circumstances continue.”
