Man injured in targeted Melbourne CBD shooting

The victim, thought to be in his late teens or early 20s, was found on the road with police told a suspected gunshot had been heard.

He was taken to hospital where he is refusing to provide information to detectives about the incident.

The offender fled after the shooting, Victoria Police inspector Chris Murray said.

"Any firearm incident inside a venue is a concern," he said.

The area has been cordoned off while investigators examine the scene.

Police said the shooting was being treated as a targeted attack.

It comes almost four months after three men were stabbed outside the same venue.

Police believe two groups of men had an altercation outside the strip club in the early hours of the morning.
