It is believed the youths attacked were 18 and 19-years-old, both are said to be in a serious but stable condition in hospital.

However, according to media reports, the gun-toting attacker demanded the victims' iPods and mobile phones.
Police said the victims had been approached by up to five youths, one of who was carrying a gun and opened fire at close range.
