People living in the street told The News of hearing up to three gunshots ring out in the early hours.

Two men, 24 and 25, and both from London, and a 21-year-old man from Harrow have all been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

Suspects can be held in custody for 24 hours before a senior officer needs to authorise extra time.

A police superintendent can give permission for an extra 12 hours.

Any extension to this needs to be granted by magistrates at court, up to a maximum of 96 hours.
