Detectives have reported that he was attacked on The Green, in Broadgreen, at around 9pm.

Officers launched an investigation and searched scenes related to the shooting, on Queen’s Drive, Domville Road and Binns Road.

No arrests have been made so far and police are appealing for anyone with any information to come forward.

Detective chief inspector Rachel Wilson from Merseyside police said: "We are in the early stages of an investigation into a shooting in Broadgreen yesterday which has left a man seriously injured.

"We are appealing to anyone who was in the Broadgreen area yesterday evening who witnessed the incident, or saw anything or anyone suspicious to come forward, as any information you have could be vital to our enquiries.

"Similarly if you were driving at the Broadgreen end of Queen’s Drive and have dashcam footage please review it and let us know.

"In recent months we have seen a downturn in shootings on Merseyside. To have such success, it is absolutely vital that we get all information from those communities who feel the impact of gun crime, so we can bring those responsible to justice.

"Speak to us directly or anonymously and we will take swift action to remove dangerous weapons and those who use them from our streets."
