Police attended a residential street in Hayes on Halloween night, where dozens of young people had gathered outside a house party.
Footage shared with UB1UB2 shows a large group on Dallas Terrace at about 9.15pm on Saturday 31 October. A marked police car is parked in the road with its blue lights on, and officers can be seen talking to people on a driveway and on the pavement.
The crowd appears to be gathered outside one house, and some of the people seem to be wearing costumes. Several cars are parked along the narrow street.
What police have said
The Metropolitan Police has not confirmed why officers were called to the street, how long they stayed, or whether anyone was arrested. No injuries have been reported.
It is not known whether the gathering was a private party that spilled out onto the street, or whether people turned up without being invited. Neither has been confirmed.
