The client also suffered a superficial gunshot wound possibly as a result of a ricochet shot.
The patient, who was in a state of shock, was stabilised by paramedics before being taken to hospital.
No one else was injured during the incident, which reportedly took place at an isolated section of the bank.
The suspects are still at large. Business continued as normal while authorities remain on scene.
