Air Ambulance - a red one. Police is black/yellow normally. A sirened vehicle (couldn't see whether police or ambulance) went up Umfreville Rd shortly before.

Thanks Gordon, I couldn't see clearly enough if it was police or air ambulance. Hope whoever is injured going to be alright. Lots of activity out there.

Air Ambulance tends to hover lower than Police Helicopter

As looking for Safe Place to Land. Also has a lighter engine tone that Police one

Just seen a Territorial Support Group vehicle going down into Lausanne Road, accompanied by thunder and lightning (possibly unrelated). Don't we live in exciting times ?

We do indeed! keep hearing sirens too, darkened skies and lightening. Amazing storm, all that rain we didn't have for months coming now. 

The helicopter couldn't have landed in this sort of weather. Hope whoever they picked up is safely in hospital.

This from Nigel Lupton who lives on Endymion.

The air ambulance just came down in Finsbury Park. Lots of sirens on Green Lanes @harringayonline pic.twitter.com/QnpZ6yWSJP

Also from Twitter.

A young girl fell off her bike in the road close to the outdoor gym area in Finsbury Park. Leg got tangled in the wheel. She was conscious and carried into an ambulance by her father so don't think it was serious.

Seems like it may have been a stabbing. www.mylondon.news/news/north-london-news/man-stabbed-one-two-incide...

Oh dear, that's sad if it's the case. I did think it might be something like this when first saw the helicopter and heard the police cars rushing down Green Lanes.
