A courier was wounded in the leg in a shooting in Cork city this morning.
The man, who is in his thirties, was making deliveries on Lee Road at about 6.30 a.m. when his van was blocked by two vehicles.
Three men then forced the victim to drive his van in convoy with the two cars to a nearby field. He was then shot in one of his legs.
It is understood the incident was an attempted robbery, although it is not clear yet whether the raiders stole anything.
