An investigation is underway after a teenage boy arrived at Sydney hospital with a gunshot wound on Friday night.

Police were called to Bankstown Hospital just before 8pm last night, after a 17-year-old boy presented to the Emergency Department with a gunshot wound to the right leg.

The injury is not considered life threatening.

The boy arrived with an 18-year-old mate, with both of them refusing to assist police with inquiries or explain the injury.

When police attempted to arrest the older boy for concealing an indictable offence, it’s alleged he assaulted two police officers, causing one of them injury.

The 18-year-old was taken to Bankstown Police Station where it will be further alleged that he made a number of threats towards officers.
