Sky’s Cordelia Lynch,\u00a0who was at the scene, said a Sky News producer saw the injured former cricketer emerge from his container truck.<\/p>\n

“My cameraman Duncan Sharp and I were sitting inside the container\u00a0Imran Khan\u00a0was on top of, when we suddenly heard screams,” she said.<\/p>\n

Footage from the unfolding scene captured what local media is citing as the gunman, who appeared to escape as members of the public tried to take the weapon off him.<\/p>\n

“Then Imran Khan emerged. He had been shot, I understand, in the left leg. In fact, our producer here, Muhammad, was able to see that.”<\/p>\n

Mr Khan was rushed away from the scene to a hospital in Lahore, and his supporters said he had survived the assassination attempt.<\/p>\n
