Gunmen injured two people after they opened fire near a London tube station last night less than 24 hours after a near-identical attack.

Detectives have launched an appeal after two men were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following the attack shortly after 5pm yesterday in a possible copycat attack.

Two men were shot near Rayners Lane station in Harrow, roughly five miles from the scene of a shooting outside Kingsbury station on Monday night.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “The two victims – aged 18 years and 24 years – were located in a fenced area nearby suffering from gunshot wounds.

“They were conveyed to hospital, neither is believed to be in a life-threatening condition.

“Two other men – aged 18 years and 25 years – were arrested near to the scene on suspicion of attempted murder.

“They were taken to west London police stations and have since been released under investigation.”

Officers attended along with specialist firearms colleagues.

It is believed that a man fired shots with a shotgun point blank at another group of males before fleeing the scene with an accomplice on a moped.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
