"The man was treated at the scene before being taken to St Vincent's Hospital in a stable condition."

Several streets have been closed as police probe the crime scene.

Police said a critical incident team from a different police area command would investigate the incident, which would be subject to an independent review.

Residents told 9News they were shocked by the incident.

"I just heard like a loud bang and a few shouts and that was about it," one said.

"… I thought it was a loud car engine."
