Police appeal over shooting in Tottenham

Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a man was shot in Tottenham.

Officers were called at 04:29hrs on Thursday, 6 February, to reports of gunshots at a property in Tottenham Green East, N15.

Police attended alongside the London Ambulance Service, and found a man in his 20s suffering from gunshot wounds. Immediate medical attention was provided. He was taken to hospital, where his injuries were assessed as non-life-threatening.

CCTV captured a suspect walking away from the scene. Detectives are keen to identify him and asking for the public’s help.

Detective Inspector Darren Jones, who is leading the investigation, said: “A man was brutally shot earlier this year in Tottenham. It’s vital that we determine exactly what happened and bring the person or people responsible for this crime to justice.

“If you recognise the man caught on CCTV, we urge you to come forward and speak to us.

“A 25-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder during the course of our investigation and has been released on bail but our enquiries continue.

“I am especially keen to locate the gun used which has now been connected to four separate shootings in north London.

“Any information to help identify the suspect or the location of the gun, could be essential in helping us piece together the circumstances of this incident.”

Detectives are asking anyone who witnessed the incident - or who has relevant doorbell or CCTV footage if they were around Tottenham Green East at the time - to call 101, quoting CAD 741/06FEB. To remain anonymous, contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
