One eyewitness told the MEN that the incident happened as children were on the residential street.

They said: "It is a normal street. He was standing outside on the street. It's been a nice day so he's been enjoying the sun and someone has come down the road and fired out of the window. It has hit him in the leg and he has been taken to hospital.

"There were children on the street and everything. It is disgusting what has happened."
