Police 'unintentionally' shoot man after captive woman call
2019-02-15
[BBC] A man was accidentally shot by police as they investigated reports of a woman being held by armed men in a south-east London pub.

The Met responded to a call shortly before 04:00 GMT which reported a woman was being held against her will at the Anchor Pub in Lewisham.

Officers stopped a car near the pub and a gun was "unintentionally discharged" injuring a man, police said.

He and another man in the car, along with five others, have been arrested. The five men were all arrested at the pub where a search was carried out, although police could not find a woman.

Police have not confirmed what the men have been arrested on suspicion of.

Det Ch Insp James Stanyer said officers "are working hard to fully understand this incident" and appealed for the woman who originally called 999 to contact them.
