Four British men - MAA (40), KAA (62), MZS (59) and MLK (46) - have been arrested in connection with the shooting of a compatriot in Puerto Banús on September 24th.

The victim (MH), who has criminal convictions in the UK, was hit five times - in the right eye, right leg, right arm, hip and groin - and has since undergone two operations at the Costa del Sol Hospital in Marbella.

It is believed that MH, who resides in Estepona, was shot as part of some kind of drug-related revenge attack.

A British man (MH) is in a stable, but serious, condition following emergency surgery at the Costa del Sol Hospital in Marbella after being shot several times outside a busy shopping centre on the calle Ramón Areces in the exclusive Puerto Banús district at around 7.30pm yesterday evening.

The victim, who is believed to have been in trouble with the police back home in the UK, was hit in the right eye, the genitals, the right leg, right arm and pelvis.

It is suspected that the attack may have been drug related.

The shooter, who is described as a powerfully built young man, fled the scene after the attack, and remains at large.
