Detectives from Bankstown Police Area Command established a crime scene and investigated the circumstances surrounding the attack. 

It is believed the 19-year old was sitting in the drivers seat of a car with a 21-year-old passenger next to him. 

Early investigations suggested a number of men then approached the car and smashed the passenger window.

They pulled the driver out of the car and shot him in the chest and leg. 

The 21-year-old man also suffered a minor injury to his eye from the smashed glass. 

He did not require treatment and assisted police with their inquiries. 

A white hatchback was seen leaving the area after the shooting and police would like to speak with the driver of the car. 

Police are also urging anyone who was in the vicinity of the shooting or who might have information to come forward.
