A man has been injured in what police described as a "paramilitary-style shooting" in west Belfast.
The 29-year-old man was shot in both knees and an ankle in the Cavendish Street area tonight, the Police Service of Northern Ireland said.
A PSNI spokesman said a report was received at around 7.45pm that the man had been shot.
The injured man has been taken to hospital for treatment.
He is the second man to be shot in a similar way in the city in the last week.
On 23 December, an 18-year-old man was left with what police said were "potentially life-changing injuries" when he was shot twice in the leg in the Pembroke Loop area of Dunmurry in the city's southwest.
