A man has been charged after three people were injured in a shooting in Clapham, south London.
Two women suffered shotgun pellet injuries when a weapon was fired by a moped rider being pursued by officers near Clapham Common South Side.
A third person was hit by the moped in the incident at 17:00 GMT on Friday.
Keymarni King, 18, from Tooting, is charged with possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life or enabling another to do so.
He is also charged with aggravated vehicle taking and injury caused by an accident, and two counts of wounding or inflicting grievous bodily harm without intent.
Mr King will appear before Bromley Magistrates' Court later.
Second suspect
The Metropolitan Police said the injured pedestrian and the two women had now all been released from hospital.
The force added work to trace a second suspect was ongoing.
The Met said during the incident a moped was allegedly being ridden by two people who failed to stop.
It added the moped then collided with a pedestrian and crashed, and a firearm was reported to have been dropped and discharged as it hit the ground.
