An eighth person has been arrested after two men were shot in Leicester.

Leicestershire Police said the pair were injured as they walked along Evington Road, close to the junction with Chepstow Road, at about 23:20 GMT on 22 November.

The two men were taken to hospital and have since been discharged.

A 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder and has since been released on bail, the force added.
