A man has been charged over a shooting at a Turkish restaurant in Dalston which left four people injured - including a nine-year-old girl who has been in hospital for more than 10 weeks.
Javon Reily, 32, from Hampshire, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Saturday (August 10) charged with four counts of attempted murder.
He was remanded in custody, and is due to appear at the Old Bailey on September 6.
The Met police says Reily, of Farnborough Road in Farnborough, was arrested on Friday (August 9) following a vehicle stop in Chelsea Embankment.
The charges relate to a shooting at a Turkish restaurant in Kingsland High Street, which happened around 9.20pm on May 29.
A nine-year-old girl, who is understood to have been dining at the restaurant with her family, was seriously injured. She remains in hospital in a stable condition.

“Her family has been informed of the charges and continue to be supported by specially trained officers,” said a Met spokesperson.
Three other men were also injured in the attack. They have since been released from hospital.
Detective Chief Superintendent James Conway, lead for policing in Hackney and Tower Hamlets, said on Saturday: “Today’s charges are a significant development in what has been a painstaking and meticulous investigation. I would like to pay credit to those from our communities who came forward to speak to us.
"Our thoughts remain with our young victim and her family as they continue to confront the devastating effects of gun crime.”
Detective Chief Inspector Joanna Yorke, who leads the investigation, said detectives continue to work “around the clock” to establish what happened.
“This is very much still an ongoing investigation and we urge those who have information to come forward,” she said.
“We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who has information about the identity of an individual seen on a motorcycle in Kingsland High Street at the time of this offence.
“We recognise that people may be apprehensive about providing details. They do not need to speak directly to the police. They can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
“Any information, no matter how insignificant you feel it may be, could be vital.”
A 35-year-old woman who was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder and assisting an offender has been released on police bail.
