A man has been shot in the ankle in a paramilitary style shooting in Derry Londonderry.
It happened near the Creggan Shops at around 7.45 last night.
The 41 year old was taken to hospital for treatment.
A PSNI Spokesperson said: “Whilst these injuries are not life threatening, this was a brutal and horrific attack.
"It is yet another example of how criminal groups seek to control communities through fear and violence.
“I am appealing for anyone who witnessed this incident or anyone with any information that can assist with the investigation to contact Detectives in Strand Road on 101 quoting reference number 1190 of 07/12/17.
"We are particularly keen to speak with anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the area of Creggan shops or Westway."
