A 36-year old man was threatened with a screwdriver outside McKenzies pub in Thornton Heath on Sunday, November 18, and police are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
The man had been drinking in McKenzies pub and had just walked outside onto Woodville Road at 5pm, when he was threatened.
A firearm was allegedly fired by the first stranger and a second man arrived on the scene.
The two men then fled in a blue Fiat Punto hatchback and drove away in the direction of Croydon.
The man was admitted to Mayday hospital with injuries consistent with a firework being let off but was later discharged.
The first man is described as 18, black and was wearing a blue top and trousers. The second man was also described as black. Croydon CID are urging witnesses to call DS Dunne on 020 8768 1212.
