A man was reportedly shot after a block party in south London descended into violence.
Tulse Hill Estate was cordoned off by police yesterday morning following chaotic scenes on Tuesday evening.
One passerby, who did not want to be named, told the Standard that a “lovely” party atmosphere on the hottest day of the year quickly changed as revellers began racing cars.
One vehicle is reported to have crashed into a wall.
The woman said: “A block party started and it was actually lovely with music and dancing but around 3am the situation was different, big cars racing around, people shouting and a car crashed on a wall.”
Police have confirmed they were called to the area amid reports of a shooting.
On the same day police faced violent scenes in Hyde Park and Burgess Park during what has been described as the worst outbreak of youth violence since the 2011 riots.
Officers were also pelted with water pistols and bottles as they tried to break up another block party in Stamford Hill.
