A 77-year-old man is in hospital after he was allegedly shot in the groin at a law firm on a ninth-floor office in Sydney’s CBD.
One shot was fired inside a corporate office on Castlereagh Street, Sydney, just before 1pm today, police confirmed.
The man was treated by NSW Paramedics at the scene for a gunshot wound to the groin before he was taken to St Vincent’s Hospital for treatment.
He is in a stable condition.
Another man, aged 79, was arrested after he was allegedly restrained by workers in the office.
9News understands the alleged shooter was buzzed up to the lawyer’s office by the receptionist before the alleged shooting took place.
Police said they were unaware of the relationship between the victim and the alleged shooter but ruled out any gang-related associations.
Police will allege the pair had some kind of personal dispute prior to the alleged shooting.
“This is an isolated shooting, we don’t believe it’s connected to any gang warfare or anything like that,” Detective Inspector David El-Badawi said.
The small calibre pistol allegedly used in the shooting has been secured by police.
Police have advised there is no further ongoing threat to the community.
