Two shot at Notting Hill Carnival

Police are investigating two shootings, one involving a 14-year-old boy, at the Notting Hill Carnival.
A man in his 20s was injured in a stabbing.
In total there were 206 arrests during the two-day event, the majority on Monday.

However, what we witnessed from 1700 BST that afternoon shows that there was a hardcore, mainly of young men, who came to carnival not to enjoy the event but to fight, commit crime and cause trouble.

"Our officers had to work hard and deliver a strong interventionist style of policing late into the night to make sure that these criminals were not allowed to take over the streets of Notting Hill.

"Unfortunately, we witnessed groups fighting; objects being thrown at police and large groups of youths pushing roughly through crowds.

"Two young men were shot, fortunately not seriously injured, and a small number of people suffered minor stab wounds.
