British Transport Police (BTP) officers attended Harlesden and Willesden Junction stations at 2pm on Wednesday, 9 March after a report of a man receiving a gunshot wound.

Paramedics from the LAS administered treatment to the man, who was taken to hospital for further treatment and later discharged.
