An investigation is underway after reports of a man being shot in Doncaster.

Police say a man in his 30s turned up at hospital with suspected gunshot wounds on Sunday night, officers think it could have happened in Conisbrough.

An appeal for information is now underway.

A Police statement said:

"Detectives are appealing for information after a reported firearms incident in the Conisbrough area of Doncaster last night (Sunday 8 January).

"At 10.55pm, police were called to the hospital following reports a man in his 30s had shown up with suspected gunshot injuries. He remains in hospital in a serious condition.

"Initial enquiries led officers to Gardens Lane, Conisbrough, where it is suspected the shooting happened. It is thought the victim was in a vehicle when he was shot at from another vehicle, before the second vehicle left the scene.
