They were called to St Saviour's Road just after midnight this morning (8 July).

Paramedics treated a man in his 60s for serious injuries before transporting him to hospital.

It comes days after a 16-year-old boy was seriously hurt in a shooting in the same area.

A 17-year-old boy was charged in relation to that incident.
