For the second time in recent days, graphic footage of violence on London streets, committed in broad daylight, has circulated online, showing a man covered in blood after allegedly being blasted in the face with a shotgun.
Armed officers and a police helicopter were scrambled to the scene in Peckham, south London, just before 8 p.m. on Saturday, the Croydon Advertiser reports.
They found two men – 22 and 25-years-old – with gunshot wounds. They were rushed to a hospital where one was said to be in a critical condition. He is now stable.
