Tarek Zahed may lose arm and leg ‘shredded by bullets’, bikie mate arrested on drugs charge

Comanchero sergeant-at-arms Tarek Zahed may have survived more than a week since the Auburn gym shooting, but he is hardly out of the woods.

Bikie boss Tarek Zahed may have survived more than a week since the Auburn gym shooting that claimed the life of his brother Omar, but he is hardly out of the woods.

Having made it through one lot of life saving surgery, doctors at Westmead Hospital are now understood to be weighing up if the Comanchero sergeant-at-arms will need to have his arm and possibly his leg removed.

It comes after sources told The Daily Telegraph that Zahed will almost definitely struggle to see well again, with the loss of vision in his right eye from last week’s shooting adding to the fact sight in his left eye was already at “only 20 to 30 per cent”.

“He had an incident years ago that means vision in his left eye is only 20 to 30 per cent,” one source said.

“So with him likely being blind in his right eye now, he will be almost completely unable to see. They don’t know what will happen with his arm and legs, they were shredded by the bullets.

“He also took three shots to the pelvis, so it’s a real wait and see situation at the minute.”

It is understood Zahed remains intubated, in a serious but stable condition.

He is yet to be interviewed by NSW Police detectives, who find themselves in an unusual situation.

“We have to treat him as a victim, that’s the reality, but he’s been struggling to communicate, he’s not well,” a source said.

Earlier, a close associate of shot Commanchero Tarek Zahed was arrested by police as they crackdown on known bikies after the shooting which claimed the life of his brother Omar last week.

Alan Marshall, 36, was pulled over by a highway patrol unit attached to the Raptor Squad as he was driving a Mercedes through Brighton-le-sands on Tuesday.

Police allege Marshall, a member of the Comanchero outlaw motorcycle gang, was the subject of a Firearms Prohibition Order search.

He was breath-tested and also subjected to an oral fluid test, allegedly returning a positive result for methamphetamine and cocaine.

Marshall was arrested and underwent a secondary test before being banned from driving for 24 hours.

Police also slapped him with a number of Traffic Infringement Notices and a defect notice for the car he was driving.
