Man Shot With Crossbow In North Belfast
Detectives are appealing for information and witnesses after a man was shot in the leg with a crossbow in north Belfast in the early hours of Sunday, February 23rd.
The incident occurred sometime between midnight and 1:30 am in the Cupar Way area. A 32-year-old man was shot once in the leg and taken to hospital for treatment.
Detective Sergeant Magee said: "There can be no justification for this type of violence. Those who are involved in this attack do not represent the interests of this community, nor do they contribute anything to it. They do it to try and exert influence, or gain control of those they claim to represent."
Police are in the early stages of their investigation and are urging anyone who was in the area at the time and who may have information, dash-cam, CCTV, or doorbell footage to contact them on 101, quoting reference number 187 of 23/02/25.
Information can also be submitted online using the non-emergency reporting form via www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/ or anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org/.
