A crime scene remains in place.
It comes after a teenager was stabbed and shot while riding his bike during an attack in Dagenham, east London, on Thursday.
The man, 19, was ‘ambushed’ by a group on Whalebone Lane South at about 5.20pm, police said.
The attackers then fled the scene in three cars, leaving the victim in a critical condition.
Four men and a woman, aged between 18 and 25 years old, were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and bailed pending further enquiries.
