A boxing champion who pleaded guilty to charges over two abductions is in a critical condition after he was shot multiple times in Sydney's south-west.
Police rushed to Campbell Hill Road in Chester Hill about 11.30pm on Wednesday after reports several shots were fired from a black ute.
The bullets hit a second vehicle before both cars fled the scene.
Just five minutes later, a 26-year-old man with gunshot wounds, identified as Humzah Khalid by The Daily Telegraph, arrived at Auburn Hospital.
On arrival to the hospital, officers discovered a Mercedes in the car park with several bullet holes and established a crime scene.
When officers attempted to speak to a 30‑year‑old man in the emergency department - understood to be a friend of the wounded boxer - he allegedly assaulted the chief inspector, repeatedly punching him in the head.
The 58‑year‑old officer arrested the man with the help of hospital security.
The 30-year-old man was taken to Auburn Police Station and charged with assaulting a police officer in the execution of duty.

He was refused bail and will appear at Burwood Local Court on Thursday.
The wounded officer was treated for cuts to his head.
Mr Khalid, who was known as 'The Raging Bull' during his time as an Oceania boxing champion, remains in a critical condition.
He previously pleaded guilty to kidnapping and detaining offences following two abductions in 2021, in which victims were held hostage during the planned attacks.
Meanwhile, NSW Police officers were injured in two other incidents across Sydney on Wednesday, with one taken to hospital following a pursuit in Bankstown.
Police spoke to a 33-year-old man during a patrol at a hotel on Wednesday.
The man fled, prompting a chase onto a nearby road where both the man and an officer were struck by an oncoming SUV.
Both were treated at the scene and the man was taken to Liverpool Hospital in a stable condition. Police later found drugs on the man and arrested him.
