Police say the trio met a 22-year-old man in his car near Water and Dundas streets at around 2:30 a.m. in Galt near the Grand River.

They got into an altercation and the man was shot. The vehicle then left the road, before it ended up in the river, according to police. The suspects took off, leaving the victim in a partially submerged car.

Police say emergency services soon arrived at the scene. Paramedics took the victim to hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
