Two men were shot outside a busy Tube station in London on Friday night.

Armed police arrived at Mile End station in east London shortly after the double shooting.

Witnesses reported seeing one man being treated by medics outside the station.

"Me and my friends were just talking near Mile End station when suddenly we heard two loud gun shots," said one witness who also captured this video.

"Initially we thought it must have been some sort of fireworks but then we realised a guy had fallen down and when the police came to check, they found the man shot," the filmer added.

"It was terrifying and we did not know what exactly was going on," the filmer said.

The two men, both reported to be in their 20s, were taken to hospital in a serious condition.

I was able to record some footage at 22:32 when the police had just come to check on him. The area was eventually barricade-taped by the police.
