A man, who is known to the alleged victim, was later arrested near North Downs Way.

A number of officers, with holstered guns in clear view, could be seen appearing to assist in detaining an individual in Shooter’s Hill at 2.30pm.

An eyewitness told KentOnline: “There were five armed police officers and four normal police officers there, and as I came away there were two more in a van making their way over.”

The arrested man remains in police custody.
