"Police would like to speak with a man, described as between 20 and 25 years old and of middle eastern or Mediterranean appearance."
Say What !!!!
A MAN has been shot in the legs in the latest incidence of gun crime to sweep Sydney.
The 27-year-old man was found on the driveway of a home in Mona St about 6.15pm Monday.
He was taken to hospital and is now in a stable condition.
The scene became a site of sadness and worry for friends, relatives and neighbours as a man tried to run under the police cordon, but was stopped by officers.
He shouted, "That's my house" as he backed away.
A woman, possibly a relative of the victim, was seen breaking down outside the police cordon.
Karl Fayad, who lives in the same street, said he heard the incident.
"I heard two shots, and not five minutes later the cops just turned up," he said.
"It's terrible. It's not nice at all."
A woman at the scene, who did not wish to be name, bemoaned the violence.
"It is scary for people, kids, families," she said.
Police would like to speak with a man, described as between 20 and 25 years old and of middle eastern or Mediterranean appearance.
The man has a thin build with short black hair and a full beard. He was last seen wearing a navy blue hooded jumper and black track suit pants.
