A Section 60 order, which gives police stronger stop-and-search powers, has been put in place across the entire borough of Haringey.

The order is not set to be lifted until 6am.

Police in Haringey tweeted: “A 17-year-old boy was taken to hospital with a gunshot wound, he is in a life-threatening condition.
