A MAN was shot in the leg during an incident in New Cross at the weekend.

Police were called at around 5.35pm on September 8 to Camplin Street after reports of shots fired.

Upon arrival officers discovered a man, believed to be in his 40s, with a gunshot wound to his leg.

He was taken to a south London hospital where he was treated for his injuries and later discharged.

Police believe a group of youths were involved in an argument with a moped rider in the area, leading to the victim's injuries.

Anyone with information should call police on 020 8785 8603 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

A 24-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident and bailed to return to a south London police station at a later date.

Thank you News Shopper for reporting this incident.

I live on Camplin Street.

I spoke to the policeman guarding the crime scene on Saturday evening and asked what had happend. He refused to tell me anything. All I was told was that there was nothing to be concerned about.

Clearly the policeman lied to me. There was a shooting in my street, where I walk every day, where my children play. This is obviously a big concern.

Why are people walking around with guns shooting other people in my neighbourhood? Do they think they are cool or something? Such big men with the gutless weapons.

News Shopper, can you please can you follow up this story when you have more information? I guess we will be kept in the dark until it goes to court.
