Police were out on an operation in Uxbridge on Saturday (June 20) morning where one man was stabbed.

A man in his 30s was treated for multiple stab injuries by paramedics from the London Ambulance Service before being taken to a west London hospital where he remains in a serious condition.

Officers from the Metropolitan Police kidnap unit and from the firearms command unit were at an address in Cowley, during which an officer unintentionally fired a gun.

No one was injured as a result of this, and as a matter of routine, the Directorate of Professional Standards has been informed.

There were no other reported injuries.

Two men have been arrested in connection with the operation and remain in police custody.

We have heard reports police were seen on St Peter's Road in Cowley.

The investigation remains ongoing.
