The Metropolitan Police told The Sun on Thursday that no arrests had been made and officers were working to establish what happened.
An anonymous guest at the Evin restaurant said he used his coat to stop the bleeding from a man’s leg.
He told the Hackney Gazette: “There was a large group having dinner in the background.
“I couldn’t get my usual table so I took one near the front window.
“A large group paid and left and shortly afterwards loud bangs – which were apparently gunshots – were heard.”
While the owner of nearby Dalston Jazz Bar said terrified bystanders fled the scene “screaming” as shots rang out.
He told The Sun: “They closed everything down. It was a guy on a motorbike who was shooting.
– The police saw the helmet and started gathering around it because they thought it could be his.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Matt Ward said: “We know the people of London will be shocked by what happened tonight.
