“The 58-year-old victim had broken down and was approached by unknown number of suspects, one of whom was armed with a handgun. The suspects attempted to rob the man and in the ensuing struggle shot him in the left shoulder. Crisis Medical are on scene and the man is in a serious condition. He is being transported to Addington Hospital. The suspects fled the scene on foot and are still at large,” he said.
The incident comes after a tragedy on the N2 where a pedestrian was killed trying to run away from his attackers.
Earlier this evening on the same stretch of road, two people were injured after a three car collision.
