However as the victim went to fetch something from the boot of his vehicle, the accused became allegedly aggressive towards the man.

“He pulled out a firearm and fired several shots in the air and in doing so also shot the victim’s car door. A case of attempted murder has been opened at the station following the incident,” he said.
