A BARNSLEY man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a man was shot in Sheffield earlier this month.
South Yorkshire Police were called at around 1.40am on Monday, February 7, following reports of an incident on Ecclesall Road.
The 20-year-old male victim was travelling in a black Lamborghini when shots were reportedly fired towards the vehicle.
He then fled towards Whirlowdale Road where he got into a white Rolls-Royce which had two people already inside.
The trio then drove towards Sheffield Rugby Club where they called emergency services – police attended the scene and the victim was taken to hospital after suffering serious injuries consistent with a firearm discharge.
On Saturday a 25-year-old man from Barnsley was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder – he has since been released on bail while enquiries continue.
A force spokesperson added: “If you have any knowledge of the incident, and believe you can assist enquiries, please contact police.
“The incident number to quote is 53 of February 7.
“Alternatively, you can stay completely anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers via their website crimestoppers-uk.org or by calling their UK contact centre on 0800 555 111.”
