Man is shot outside club

Dec 30 2004

A man is in a serious but stable condition in hospital after being shot outside a nightclub.

The 32-year-old was rushed to hospital in a critical condition after being shot near the Supreme Club in Goding Street, Kennington, early on Monday morning.

Police were called to the area just after 5.30am to reports of a disturbance outside the nightspot.

When officers arrived on the scene, a man was seen running towards the Albert Embankment.

As he was detained, the shooting victim approached police officers and asked for help.

He was taken to hospital where his condition was said to have improved as we went to press.

The man detained at the scene was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and taken to a South London police station.

He has since been released on police bail to return to the station on January 26.

Detectives from the Met's Operation Trident shootings team have refused to release any further details about the incident.

The officers have appealed for information and witnesses.

Contact the Trident shootings team at Putney on 020 8785 8580.
