Man Injured In Shooting Incident In North Belfast
The PSNI have issued an appeal for information following a shooting incident in north Belfast on Saturday, 25 August, 2018.
A man, aged in his 30s, suffered a gunshot wound to his leg in an incident at about 10.15pm.
Police said that the incident was "particularly concerning" as it took place at the same time as a local community event.
Issuing an appeal for information, Detective Sergeant Danielle Moffett said: "This was a brutal attack and yet another example of how criminal groups seek to control communities through fear and violence.
"Shortly after this, at around 10.40pm, an agitated male was seen in the Ardoyne road area, wielding a machete. He was described as being dark-haired, wearing a white tee-shirt and dark bottoms and swinging the weapon around him. It was reported that two males disarmed him before then becoming involved in an altercation with him. We believe a male and a female may have received minor injuries during the incident.
"If anyone witnessed either of these incidents or has any information that could be useful to our investigation into them, they should phone detectives at Musgrave on 101, quoting reference number 1619 of 25/8/18."
Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.
