Appeal to find three men following firearms incident in Enfield

Detectives have released images of three men they want to speak to following a firearms incident in Enfield back in June.

On the evening of Thursday, 12 June, a 32-year-old man from London was shot at and then stabbed on Park Avenue, at the junction with Green Lanes, sustaining serious injuries.

Officers were called at approximately 23:00hrs to reports a 30-year-old man had discharged a firearm at another man while he was sat in his car, with the shot narrowly missing him.

Just seconds later, it’s reported another man has then approached the vehicle and stabbed the victim through the driver’s side door.

Approximately half an hour before the attack, it’s believed the suspect in possession of the firearm had attempted to shoot an 18-year-old man after a foot chase, narrowly missing him.

The victim of the stabbing suffered serious back injuries in the attack and was taken to hospital in a life-threatening condition. Fortunately, he has since made a full recovery.

Detective Constable Joe Halsey of the Met’s Specialist Crime Team, said:

“A man was brutally attacked suffering serious injuries, and he is incredibly fortunate to be alive.

“My team continues to follow all possible lines of enquiry in this investigation and have already carried out extensive reviews of witness statements, as well as CCTV and forensic work which has led to us identifying multiple suspects.

"If you recognise any of the men in the photos we are issuing or have details on their current whereabouts, please contact us without delay.”

Anyone with information should contact police on 101, quoting investigation reference 01/7607769/25.
