Armed police stormed a south London housing estate after a man was shot by a gunman who fled in a stolen car.

Southwark police are investigating the attack at Felbridge House off Dog Kennel Road in East Dulwich, which happened shortly before 3.45pm yesterday.

Armed officers arrived at the scene where they found a man, in his 40s, suffering from gunshot wounds to the leg.

Paramedics rushed him to hospital by ambulance where he remains in a stable condition.

A 17-year-old girl was also injured in the attack, although she was not shot, police say.

Her injuries are not thought to be serious.

A spokesman for the Met Police said: "The single male suspect made off in a car stolen shortly after the shooting and enquiries are ongoing to trace his whereabouts."

Trident detectives are also investigating yesterday's attack.
