A man has been detained by police and several people injured after gunshots were heard on London Bridge. Eyewitnesses reported seeing a man with a knife before armed police were seen approaching a man on the ground. Reem Yousef, who was at the scene, told Metro.co.uk she was directly below the bridge when she heard a fight break out at around 2pm between several people. She then heard someone shout ‘move back’ before hearing two gunshots, after which she ran away. She says police arrived within a minute and blocked off the area.
The Metropolitan Police said they were called at 1.58pm to a stabbing near to London Bridge. They said: ‘A man has been detained by police. We believe a number of people have been injured.
