A witness in an attempt to murder case today escaped unhurt when a man outside the Rohini district courts complex here opened fire at him.
Court sources said the firing incident occurred near gate 5 of the complex and the assailant, identified as Amit, was caught at the spot by security personnel.
Jeetendra, who had come to the court to depose in an attempt to murder case, was the target but he escaped unhurt as the bullet missed him, the sources said.
Jeetendra had a lucky escape due to his friend Monu who saw Amit approaching him with a gun. In a timely intervention, Monu thwarted his attempt to shoot Jeetendra and with the help of the locals nabbed him.
The assailant is being interrogated by the police, sources said.
