POLICE shot a 38-year-old man in the Carmichael Road area on Saturday after he allegedly tried to disarm an officer of his weapon.
Officers were responding to intelligence about a suspect wanted for multiple fraud matters when they went to a business on Carmichael Road around 5.30pm.
When they entered the parking lot of the business, the suspect, the lone occupant of a white Honda Civic car, reportedly left the parking lot at high speed when he saw the officers, resulting in a short pursuit that ended on Adderley Terrace off Faith Avenue, where he abandoned the car and ran.
Officers pursued the suspect and caught him at the back of a residence after shooting him in his right leg because he allegedly tried to disarm one of them.
He was taken to hospital and is in stable condition.
