Police officers investigating a street brawl involving up to 50 men in north London have made seven arrests.

Carpenter Alisan Dogan, 43, was killed and four men were seriously injured in the disturbance in Green Lanes, Harringay on 9 November.

Police arrested four men in Mill Hill, north west London on Saturday.

They are being questioned on suspicion of the attempted murder of a 16-year-old boy who was shot during the disturbance.

Organised crime

Three men aged between 27 and 62 have also been arrested in Catford, south London on suspicion of possessing firearms.

The brawl is being investigated by officers from the Metropolitan Police's Turkish Task Force, set up because of organised crime in the Green Lanes area.

They have also recovered a firearm believed to be linked to the brawl at an address in Birmingham.

The task force has been working with other community groups to calm tensions between the Turkish and Kurdish communities in Wood Green and Finsbury Park.
