Stockbroker Robin Clark, 44, is under armed guard whilst being treated for a serious leg injury.
He was shot once in the leg as he got out of his friend’s car at about 5.45am on January 24.
Speaking to national newspapers from his bed in Basildon Hospital, he said:
“They came straight at me but no words were said. There was no: ‘Have that’, nothing at all.
“The moment I was shot, if you can imagine something superhuman punching you in the leg, so much so it went through the skin, that’s what it felt like.
“I put my hand over the wound and felt a reasonable amount of blood came out.
