Man shot by police in Melbourne's north

Callers to radio station 3AW spoke of hearing multiple shots and then police cars swarming the area.

"Around at 4.44pm I was making my pasta sauce and heard two loud bangs in rapid succession," a 3AW caller identifying himself as Travis said.

"There was an interval of about 20 seconds and then another three loud bangs.

"Now there are cops everywhere."

Police were quick to distance Monday's shooting from another that saw former bikie gang member Suleiman "Sam" Abdulrahim gunned down in Fawkner on Saturday. 

"While we are still establishing the exact circumstances of the incident we can confirm there is absolutely nothing to link it to the incident in Fawkner on Saturday," a statement said.
