It came after Metropolitan Police say officers were called to a stabbing at a premises near to the London Bridge.

It’s believed a number of people have been injured — and witnesses said they heard gunshots. Social media video shows police with weapons drawn and a struggle with one man who appears to take a bullet.

The police acknowledged one man had been shot in the incident that began at 1;58 p.m. on Friday.
