West London 'knifeman' shot and wounded | |
(about 4 hours later) | |
A man thought to have a knife was shot and wounded by police on a London street after an attempt to Taser him apparently failed. | |
The Metropolitan Police said a Taser stun gun was fired after officers went to a disturbance in Queen's Park, west London, in the early hours. | |
The man ran from Claremont Road to Kilburn Lane where a Taser was used again, before he was shot. | |
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating. | |
Police could not confirm how many times the Taser was discharged, saying it was now a matter for the IPCC's investigation. | |
The man was taken to hospital. Nobody else was injured. | |
The Metropolitan Police's Directorate of Professional Standards has been informed. |
