It comes a month after nervous shoppers fled the Oxford Circus shopping area after reports of gunfire during the Black Friday sales, which also turned out to be a false alarm.
Tweeters reported “panic on Oxford Street as ‘hundreds run and scream’ after reports of an incident” .
@ashutosmisra tweeted a picture of panic shoppers outside the store:
Police said: “Local officers and armed officers are on scene in Oxford Street, W1. They responded to reports of shots heard. Nothing to indicate shots fired. One woman with non-life-threatening injuries as a result of a fall.”
Shoppers also fled the Westfield Stratford City shopping mall after a brawl broke out.
Police dispersed the groups that were causing the disturbance and a man was arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon, a police spokesman said.
