Yesterday, police revealed that after the Lamborghini was shot at, the car was driven to Whirlowdale Road, Whirlow, where it pulled over and the injured man got into a Rolls-Royce.

He was driven to nearby Sheffield Rugby Club, where emergency services were called.

The Rolls-Royce which transported the injured man to safety was the same one which had also been shot at earlier.

No arrests over the shooting have yet been made.

The injured man remained in hospital in a serious condition last night.
