A man has been left in a "critical condition" after being shot by police in a quiet street in Surrey.

Officers had descended on Nursery Road in Knaphill, Woking, just after midnight on Sunday after receiving reports of an "armed altercation" in the street.

Surrey Police confirmed that a man in his 20s, who has since been taken to hospital, was shot by armed police at the scene.

In a statement released just before midday, the force confirmed that one of the two people involved in the street fight was a "man armed with a weapon" - and added that officers had seized said weapon.

Police also detailed that the pair were known to each other, and said there is no risk to the wider public following the incident.
