Turkish police are investigating an incident involving the Irish Kinahan-Hutch gangs when two Kinahan gunmen allegedly tried to shoot a member of the Hutch gang, reports said Saturday.

John Hutch Sr., who is one of the brothers of Gerry "the Monk" Hutch, reportedly jumped out of his balcony to save his life from the assassination attempt of Kinahan gunmen.

According to reports, the 64-year-old Irish man was confronted by two men dressed in black balaclavas, who appeared at his door Friday evening.

He is reportedly hospitalized for a broken ankle.

The Hutch member has been living in Turkey, as his life has come under danger many times even though he is not directly involved in the deadly feud, which claimed at least 14 lives until now.

His son Gareth had been shot dead by two gunmen in Ireland in 2016.

Reports claimed that some Hutch members have chosen to live in Turkey and own properties in the country.
