Teenage boy rushed to hospital following Hackney shooting

Detectives have launched an appeal after a teenager was left injured following a shooting in Hackney.

Police rushed to Garden Place off Haggerston Road after reports that a firearm had been discharged at 8.22pm on Thursday .

A 15-year-old male was found with gunshot wounds at the scene. He was taken to hospital but remains in stable condition.

Detective Josh Ranghel, of the Met’s Specialist Crime North, said: “We know that when this incident happened there were members of the public and vehicles driving nearby.

“Our initial enquiries suggest the suspects responsible for the shooting were masked and travelling on e-bikes.

“Officers are keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident or who saw or heard anything suspicious around that time. It may have caused you to record the incident on your mobile phone. If so, officers would be interested in viewing this footage. Additionally, if you were driving in the area, did you record something on dashcam?

“Any piece of information could be crucial in piecing together what took place.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 or tweet @MetCC giving the reference CAD 7703/25MAY23.
