SDLP North Belfast Councillor Carl Whyte has condemned a shooting in the area on Tuesday night.
The incident happened near Strathroy Park.
Police remain at the scene.
Councillor Carl Whyte said:
“The shooting of a man in north Belfast tonight must be strongly condemned. This will have caused much concern and upset in the local community and left the victim with potentially serious injuries.
“The days of gunmen roaming our streets must be consigned to the past. There can be no justification for the use of barbaric violence of this nature.
“It is deeply concerning that those behind this attack are in possession of a deadly weapon and it must be seized and taken out of circulation before anyone else is hurt. I would ask anyone with any information to come forward to police.”
