What happened on North Acton Playing Field today?

I arrived home around 4:20pm this afternoon and there was 4 ambulances, police cars and an orange helicopter landed on North Acton Playing Fields next to the childrens play area. Does anyone know what happened?Something else to mention, this same helicopter was hovering above our gardens early this morning at 3am for 30 minutes, how annoying.

It was the police helicopter at about 3am - searching for escaping suspects. Personally I don't mind the noise - they don't fly about for fun, they're trying to catch criminals!The orange one is the air ambulance, and I don't believe they have clearance to fly at night yet.No idea about what happened on the playing field though.

Snap. My sister told me about this escaped suspect but I couldn't believe it. It might have been the MPS in the Sky then.This afternoon was really odd though, so many emergency services in one location and nothing was happening. They left after 10-15 minutes.Thanks for replying.
