A Laventille man had to be treated at hospital on Thursday, after he was shot in the arm whilst driving through Eastern Quarry, Laventille.
The victim, who lives at Thomasine Street, Laventille, was reportedly driving his Volkswagen Passat along Readymix Private Road, Eastern Quarry, Laventille, around 12.15 pm.
It was alleged that as he stopped and was reversing, an armed man clad in a green jersey and green bandana covering his face knocked on the driver’s side window, while simultaneously pulling a gun from his waist.
Refusing to stop, the victim reportedly drove off as loud explosions were heard.
The victim was shot in the right arm and drove himself to the Port-of-Spain General Hospital where he was treated and discharged in a stable condition.
