Police have set up a crime scene as investigations continue into an overnight shooting at Waratah West.
The incident unfolded near the intersection of Acacia Avenue and Allowah Street at about 11pm
Neighbours have told police they heard two gunshots and raced outside to see two men assaulting another man and a silver sedan with its rear passenger and side windows shattered.
It's understood a 25-year-old man was then dropped off at the Calvary Mater Hospital by someone driving the silver sedan - he'd suffered gunshot wounds to his right thumb and right shoulder.
Police say it's likely the man will lose his thumb - he's still sedated and officers are yet to obtain a full statement from him.
He's expected to be transferred to a Sydney Hospital for specialist treatment.
