Alejo Vidal-Quadras Roca, the former Catalonia leader, has remarkably survived a shooting in Madrid after sustaining bullet wounds to his head.<\/p>\n

Police received a call at around 2pm that he had been struck as he arrived at an event on N\u00fa\u00f1ez de Balboa Street.<\/p>\n

The authorities are hunting down a suspect, who they believe to be a young man, believed to be responsible for firing the weapon at Vidal-Quadras Roca.<\/p>\n

Investigators are currently in the process of securing CCTV footage from nearby cameras after it emerged the youngster fled the scene on a motorcycle.<\/p>\n
