23-year-old man was shot and wounded in Copenhagen mistaken for a member of the AK81 group.

23-year-old man was shot and wounded in Copenhagen yesterday evening - police say he was mistaken for a member of the AK81 group. Copenhagen police believe a young man who was shot and wounded yesterday evening in the Nørrebro district of the capital, was mistaken for a well-known member of the Hells Angels support group AK81. Shots were fired at the corner of Raadmandsgade and Mimersgade streets from what is believed to have been be a black BMW 525 containing four young immigant men . The target of the attack was a group of young men who police say have nothing to do with the current gang warfare. "This was a group of bodybuilder-type men with tattoos, and one of them resembles a well-known member of AK81," the police investigation chief tells Ritzau. The young man was hit in an arm and leg after 5-6 shots were fired from the car, which then sped away towards Tagensvej street. Wednesday's shooting was the third in just over a week. On Wednesday of last week a 26-year-old ethnic Iranian was killed, while last Saturday a 33-year-old ethnic Turk was killed while taking part in a remembrance ceremony for the 26-year-old.
