A MAN is recovering after being shot in the street in south London.
The 22-year-old victim was in Halesworth Road, Lewisham, when a gunman opened fire on him.
He was taken to hospital where he is in a stable condition after he was shot just after 11pm last night.
A police spokesman from Trident, which targets gun crime in the capital, said there have been no arrests.
The area was cordoned off as detectives made inquiries into what happened and are speaking to residents in the area.

"We sent an ambulance crew, a duty manager and a medical team in a car. Our staff treated a man for his injuries and took him to hospital."
