Former Mongols bikie Sam Abdulrahim stable after shooting in Melbourne’s north

The gunmen who shot a former bikie in Melbourne on Saturday remain at large, prompting the Premier to issue a stern message.

The gunmen who remain on the run after firing bullets at a former bikie will face the “full force of the law,” Daniel Andrews has vowed.

Professional boxer Sam Abdulrahim, 30, was in a serious but stable condition on Sunday afternoon after being targeted while leaving a funeral in Melbourne’s north.

Sam Abdulrahim was believed to have been shot in his lung and kidney.

The offending car fled, ploughing into a fire hydrant and pole on Box Forest Road, near Sydney Road in Fawkner.

The occupants ran from the damaged vehicle and carjacked a nearby Ford Territory wagon before driving off.

The Ford Territory was located in Epping about 10pm.

Police said the carjacking victims, a female driver and child, were not physically injured during the incident.

Investigators believe the shooting was a targeted attack.

Speaking to reporters in Frankston, the Premier put the perpetrators on blast: “It’s just not on”.

“I’ll send my best wishes to those members of the public caught up in this,” Mr Andrews said.

“This is obviously a very live matter that Victoria Police take seriously.

“I’m very confident that the people involved in this completely unacceptable behaviour will feel the full force of the law.”
