THREE people have been arrested after a man was shot in the leg at a hotel on Marbella’s glitzy Golden Mile.
Witnesses said they heard a barrage of shots before seeing two alleged gunmen fleeing the scene at around 2.15pm on Tuesday.
All suspects were Dutch nationals, according to local newspaper Area Costa del Sol.
Emergency services received several calls reporting that shots had been fired inside or near the aparthotel on Calle Ramon Gomez de la Serna.
One witness told local media: “We heard a pile of shots and saw people running and the two shooters fleeing.”
The victim, a man, was struck in the leg and emergency services were alerted.
Police rushed to the scene, where officers found spent cartridges which were taken away as part of the investigation.
Local police reportedly used CCTV footage to trace the vehicle the suspected gunmen had escaped in, leading officers to the three arrests.
Witnesses also reported seeing police officers running through the area as the operation unfolded.
Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
It comes just weeks after another fatal shooting in Marbella.
A 33-year-old man was killed after being shot twice in the abdomen in the early hours of August 22.
He was found lying in the road in Calle Pintor Pacheco after reports of a fight involving gunshots.
The latest shooting is now the second incident involving a firearm in Marbella in just one month.
