One person ‘detained’ as police and paramedics swarm Shepherd’s Bush – live updates

A local, who did not wish to be named, said: “It was loads of police cars and ambulances bunched up on the road and pavement. Police began to tape off the area around shops nearby. “Obviously, in London you can’t predict these things, but it feels strange to see such a police presence on a pretty affluent road.“There are nice shops and cafes up and down Askew Road, then the residential roads running off it are lined with beautiful houses. There’s a general village feel to Askew Road and the surrounding streets, lots of people know each other and wave to each other in the street.”
