One witness told the PA news agency: “We were very busy at the time and we heard a noise like car tyres bursting.

“We heard four or five shots and saw a car drive off really fast.

“There was a bus turning right in the cross hatchings on the junction so the way ahead was blocked.

“The car turned left.”

The staff said they could not tell if shots had been fired from the car or if the car had been the target.

Haringey Police are investigating and witnesses are asked to phone 101 citing reference number 8549/sep19 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously.
