A second video, posted on Friday, shows armed police on the scene, some with riot gear, assisting the injured man and asking bystanders to go back inside.

The voice of one man can be heard shouting “he’s been shot” repeatedly, as the victim adds “I cannae take it out bro, I cannae take it out. I’ve been shot. A crossbow, right through here, right through my heart and it’s killing me” as he points at his chest.

Footage also shows a man walking around carrying a crossbow and pointing it at another bystander. One man asks him “what are you doing? Why have you got a crossbow?” before he goes back inside.
