The Provincial Organised Crime Investigation Unit has arrested a 25-year-old gang affiliate at his home in Gelvandale, Port Elizabeth, on four counts of attempted murder.
Colonel Priscilla Naidu says Provincial OCI members, with assistance of Mount Road Cluster members followed up on information on the whereabouts of a suspect and arrested him at his house in Goliath Street in Gelvandale shortly before 11 pm on Wednesday evening.
The arrest follows an incident on Saturday night in which two suspects pulled out firearms and started shooting at three men on the corners of Springbok and Tobias Streets in Gelvandale.
The group scattered and escaped unhurt, but a stray bullet hit a 10-year-old boy who was sitting on the pavement.
He was struck in the upper arm and was taken to hospital for treatment.
The suspect is expected to appear in court on Friday.
