A Catholic taxi driver escaped injury when a shot was fired at his car in Belfast this morning.
The attack is being treated as an attempted murder.
An RUC spokesman said the man had just arrived at a house at Parkmount Terrace, off the Shore Road, at around 6 a.m when two youths jumped out of bushes and fired a single shot at him.
The vehicle was hit but not the driver, who managed to drive off.

The two attackers ran off, but were spotted by passing RUC officers, who gave chase.
The men escaped but dropped their weapon, a handgun, which was recovered by the RUC.
