  • Published

Two men have been arrested after a pedestrian was shot at from a car.

Thames Valley Police said the victim, a man aged in his 30s, was targeted on Broad Street in Chesham, Buckinghamshire, at about 18:10 BST on Tuesday before a silver coloured VW Scirocco was driven from the scene. The car was later found burned out in Rickmansworth at about 22:00.

The victim suffered injuries to his shoulder and was taken to hospital, but his injuries are not life-threatening and he has since been discharged.

A 31-year-old man from Chalfont St Giles has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, while a 37-year-old man from Chesham has been arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon.

Officers said that both men remain in police custody.

Det Insp Phil Turner-Robson said: "I would again appeal for anyone in the area who saw or heard anything; if you have any footage from the area and haven't already spoken to the police, we would urge you to please come forward."

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101.
