Police have condemned an incident where a man was shot in the leg with a crossbow in north Belfast.
The incident took place on Cupar Way between midnight and 1.30am on Sunday, according to a police report.
The 32-year-old man was taken to hospital for treatment for his injuries.
Detectives said there was “no justification for this type of violence” and appealed for information and witnesses.
“Those who are involved in this attack do not represent the interests of this community, nor do they contribute anything to it,” Detective Sergeant Magee said.
“They do it to try and exert influence, or gain control of those they claim to represent.
“Our investigation is at a very early stage, and I would urge anyone who was in the area at the time, and who may have information, dash-cam, CCTV or doorbell footage which could assist with our inquiries, to get in touch on 101, quoting reference number 187 of 23/02/25.”
A report can be submitted online using the non-emergency reporting form via the PSNI website or through Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online.
