Footage has emerged of a shooting in broad daylight outside a north London shopping centre.

The video shows a man chasing four teenagers across a road before firing a blank gun at one of them.

In the footage, filmed from a balcony near Edmonton shopping centre around 2pm on Thursday and obtained by the Daily Mail, a group of men run from the car park before they are chased by the man who appears to be brandishing a gun.

As one of them limps across the road to rejoin the group, the gunman runs up behind them and shoots once, before they run to a nearby parked car and drive away.

Blank guns are still considered dangerous at close range.

As the gunman runs from the scene, the cameraman can be heard saying "you'd better run, they're coming for you".

The cameraman told MailOnline: "I looked over and decided to record it. I honestly thought it was some guys having a punch up or something like that.

"There was a lot of commotion and then these kids broke out of the crowd and ran away and the guy with the gun ran after them and opened fire.

"I couldn't believe what I was filming. I've never seen anything like that outside my house, I was just left wondering what the hell is going on out there. It's London, I don't expect to see that sort of stuff."

Metropolitan Police detectives from the Trident Gang Crime Command have appealed for witnesses.

They say no one has been injured and there have been no arrests.

Anyone with any information about this incident are asked to contact Trident on 0208 217 7301 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
