Police investigating the stabbing of a teenage boy in Maryland have released information about the attack in an appeal for witnesses to come forward.
They say the 17-year-old, who suffered injuries that were not life-threatening, was approached and stabbed on Leytonstone Road by two men on a moped at around 4.30pm on Monday.
They were both wearing dark clothing and balaclavas, with the pillion passenger believed to shoot a firearm in the direction of the victim.
A dark car was following the moped and officers say that four people then got out and attacked the teenager before driving away.
There have been no arrests, and the boy remains in hospital.
