Senior Comanchero bikie is found dumped outside a Perth hospital with multiple bullet wounds and burns
A senior member of the Comanchero bikie gang has been found dumped outside a hospital with multiple bullet wounds and burns to his legs.
The 51-year-old man was found suffering serious injuries outside the Rockingham Hospital emergency department just before 10pm on Thursday.
The man had also been burnt, in addition to bullet wounds on his upper body and leg.
Police suspect the man's attackers had attempted to remove some of his tattoos relating to the outlaw motorcycle gang.
The man was rushed to Royal Perth Hospital where he remains in a stable condition.
Detective Senior Sergeant Anthony Thompson said officers were still trying to determine who dumped the man outside the hospital.
He said the injured man was 'very well known to police'.
'I can't talk to specifics, but we believe he was dropped off and just left there, which is a rather callous way to deal with someone with life-threatening injuries,' he said.

The man was a senior member of the Comanchero gang in Western Australia
'This is a targeted attack and there is no ongoing risk to the public.
'We will be monitoring outlaw motorcycle gangs hard over the next few days to ensure that the community is safe.'
Thompson confirmed the man was a 'patch member' of the Comancheros and held a position of authority in the motorcycle gang.
'This person has now been left with life-changing injuries, and this is solely because he was a member of an outlaw motorcycle gang,' he said.
The Comanchero motorcycle gang was first established in Sydney in 1966 and has since grown to over 500 members nationwide.
The patch features an old western wagon wheel on a red background.
