Pakistani cricket legend Wasim Akram said on Wednesday he was lucky to escape unscathed when a gunman opened fire at his car after a traffic collision.
Akram, one of the best left-arm fast bowlers ever to play the game, was on his way to coach at a training camp at the city's National Stadium when the incident happened.
"A car hit mine, I stopped him and then his guy stepped out and fired at my car," he said on the Express News channel. "He was definitely an official, I have noted the number of the car and given it to the police."
Initial reports had said the gunman did not aim at the cricketer. But Akram later said the man had been about to shoot him when someone revealed who he was.
"He tried to shoot me, his gun was pointing at me, then people told him my identity and he fired at the side of my car," Akram told reporters.
"Had the people not told him about me, he would have shot me." - AFP
