Road closures are in place following a “drive-by” shooting that left four women and two girls injured.
Eversholt Street is currently closed both ways between Euston Station and Oakley Square following a shooting by St Aloysius Church on Phoenix Road yesterday (January 14).
A crime scene is also in place on Phoenix Road itself.
The closures are causing slight travel disruptions in the area, but Euston station is still accessible from the Euston Road end.
However bus routes 168 and 253 are being diverted from the area.
