A man shot and critically wounded when a car was peppered with bullets in Melbourne's northern suburbs is believed to be a former member of the Mongols outlaw bikie gang.

Former Mongols bikie Suleiman "Sam" Abdulrahim was driving a Mercedes 4WD when he was gunned down on Saturday, The Age reported.

Abdulrahim was driven to Fawkner Police Station before being taken to the hospital in a critical condition.

The gunmen fled in a Mazda SUV before losing control, crashing into a fire hydrant and pole on Box Forest Road, near Sydney Road, police said.

They then carjacked a Ford Territory, forcing a woman and child from the vehicle before escaping.

Abdulrahim remains in critical condition at the Royal Melbourne Hospital.

Investigators believe the shooting was a targeted attack.

Witnesses or anyone with CCTV/dash cam footage or with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
