A local dentist was shot three times in Sidi Rezegh Street in Pollak Park last Friday afternoon.
Springs police spokesperson Capt Johannes Ramphora said the dentist was in the car with his secretary when a grey Toyota Tazz forced them off the road.
A gunman alighted the Tazz and fired three shots at the victim before fleeing.
