A man has been charged with attempted murder following a violent incident in Islington on the evening of October 27.

He is due to appear at Bromley Magistrates' Court on November 3.
The incident took place on Parkfield Street near Angel Central shopping centre and the O2 Academy Islington at 10.25pm. Two men, aged 33 and 27, were found with gunshot wounds and taken to hospital. Their injuries were not life-threatening, though the 33-year-old's were assessed as life-changing. A third man, aged 36, was stabbed during the same incident; his injuries were neither life-threatening nor life-changing.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed that no arrests have yet been made in connection with the shootings.

He stated: "Violence has no place in our communities, and we are pursuing every available line of enquiry to identify those involved."
Angel Central was sealed off for more than 12 hours following the attack as detectives carried out enquiries. The shopping centre was busy at the time, with crowds attending separate concerts at the adjacent O2 Academy.
