Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan has been shot in the foot in an assassination attempt at a rally.
Gunmen opened fire at Khan’s convoy as he was leading a protest march on Islamabad to demand snap elections, with one bullet striking the former PM in the foot.
Video shows an unsteady Khan being helped down from an open top bus by his supporters and being placed carefully into a vehicle.
The politician was rushed to hospital, with local media reporting that he is out of danger.
Footage from the scene also appears to show one gunman shooting towards Khan’s convoy. A second man is seen trying to wrestle the gun from the shooter, but he manages to escape.
Eight people, including Senator Faisal Javed Khan, were reportedly injured after the gunmen opened fire near Wazirabad, a city in northern Pakistan.
Video shows Senator Faisal Javed Khan sat in a hospital chair, with blood splattered over his white shirt.
