A man was shot while sitting in the front passenger seat of a car at a McDonald's drive-thru.

The 21-year-old was taken to hospital with leg injuries after the shooting at the fast food outlet in Bromborough, Merseyside, at 17:30 BST on Thursday.

It is believed the suspect fled in the direction of Asda, the force added.

Police have issued an image of a man they want to talk to about the attack. Det Insp Paul Parry said the inquiry was in its "early stages".

"I understand the alarm this incident will cause, as it happened in broad daylight in a busy area with a number of people around, but rest assured we are doing all we can to locate the person responsible," Mr Parry said.
