Detectives from the Trident and Area Crime Command are releasing images of two men they want to speak to in connection with a shooting in Haringey.
Police were called at around 23:30hrs on Saturday, 23 July to reports of a shooting in Champa Close, N17.
Officers, including armed officers, attended but no one was found to be injured at the scene.
Later, police were informed by staff at an east London hospital that a 35-year-old man had been brought in suffering from gunshot injuries; he has since been discharged after treatment.
The subsequent enquires by detective revealed that while being driven in a mini-cab the above victim had been dragged from the vehicle by two men and then shot.
The two men then robbed the cab driver at gunpoint.
Both suspects made off toward Bruce Grove station and were last seen on Lordship Lane.
The men are described as:
Suspect 1: A white or Mediterranean looking man, wearing a balaclava, a black winter coat and trainers,
Suspect 2: A black man dressed in a balaclava and dark clothing.
Detective Constable Neil Webb of Trident and Area Crime Command said; “This was a deliberate attempt to injure or kill and these are clearly very dangerous men.
“I would appeal to the public to help police bring them to justice. I want to assure the public that any information will be treated in complete confidence.”
