Tshwane metro police commander Simon Bhebe will appear in court on a charge of attempted murder once he is discharged from hospital.

Bhebe was involved in a shooting incident on Sunday, in which he and another man were wounded.

An argument outside the Mazukwana tavern in Attridgeville saw the police commissioner and a group of men arguing when gunshots were fired by both groups.

Inspector Paul Ramaloko said that Bhebe may be discharged on Tuesday. A third person has been arrested and charged with attempted murder.

Police confiscated three firearms and two vehicles at the scene of the incident.
