A man is seriously injured in hospital following reports of a hit and run in Harlesden in the early hours of this morning.

The A404 road in Harlesden was in gridlock this morning after police were called at 2.45am with reports of a fight in Tubbs Road, near the junction of Harrow Road.

Police say a man, believed to be in his 20’s, appears to have been hit by a car during the disturbance, the driver then leaving the scene.

He has been taken to a central London hospital where he remains in a serious condition.

Officers also found a second man, aged in his 40s, who had been assaulted in Harlesden High Street.

He was taken to hospital but his injuries are not life threatening.

The A404 Harrow Road has been opened between Scrubs Lane and Furness Road.

A spokeswoman for the London Ambulance Service said they sent a crew to the scene: “We were called at 2.51am today to reports of an incident on Harrow Road.

“We treated a man at the scene for a leg and shoulder injury and took him as a priority to a major trauma centre in west London.” Crime scenes remain at both locations where officers from Brent continue to investigate.

There have been no arrests and enquiries continue.
