Two men were arrested after shots were fired at a plain-clothes police patrol in Brent on Saturday evening.

But police said neither of the men were the gunman, who got away after a chase on foot.

They said the two officers, on regular plain-clothed duties, were shot at a number of times but not injured.

The officers, in an unmarked vehicle, noticed a group of men acting suspiciously around a parked car on Press Road, when the attack happened.

As they pulled alongside the group, one man ran away and the officers chased him on foot.

When he reached the Neasden recreation ground, he turned and fired a number of shots at the officers, before running off.

The suspect is described as a black male, wearing a white T-shirt and black trousers.

In USA coppers would be still running and shooting.. In UK coppers leave the gunner alone and go arrest unarmed ones... Now every thug in UK will want to have gun and will get it :)
