Police probe east London shooting that sent 1 to hospital
Police said it happened in the area of Trafalgar Street and Admiral Drive
London police are investigating a Saturday shooting that sent one man to hospital with serious injuries.
Police said it happened at about 4:20 p.m. at the intersection of Trafalgar Street and Admiral Drive.
Police said the victim was driving his vehicle when he stopped at the intersection.
That's when the driver of a white sedan pulled up alongside the victim's vehicle and discharged a firearm at him, striking him.
Police said the suspect then fled westbound on Trafalgar Street "at a high rate of speed."
The victim was transported to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injures.
Police are now searching for the suspect vehicle, believed to be a Chevrolet Cruze. It had damage on the driver's side and front bumper, as well as a smashed out front passenger window.
Police suggest that prior to the shooting, the suspect vehicle was being driven "erratically and at a high rate of speed" in the area.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
