Two men have been charged after an alleged fight in Barking saw police swarm to a residential street.
The Metropolitan Police were called to Oulton Crescent at 7.46pm on March 31 to reports of a fight in the street.
They were supported by a Territorial Support Group van, a tactical unit specialising in responding to major crime scenes, counter terrorism and community safety.
Paramedics from the London Ambulance Service were also dispatched to the scene, where they took one person to hospital.
Ahmed Monsur, 30, of Oulton Crescent, is facing charges of assault, criminal damage and possession of a firearm.
Islam Siddiqul, 35, of Mastmaker Road, Isle of Dogs, is also facing assault and criminal damage charges.
They have both been bailed and are due to appear at Snaresbrook Crown Court at a later date which is yet to be confirmed.
The Metropolitan Police have been contacted to confirm if the person hospitalised is a third person, or if they were one of the men now facing charges.
