A Colombian presidential candidate has been shot three times - reportedly twice in the head - at a campaign event in the capital, Bogota.

Axar.az reports that Miguel Uribe Turbay, 39, was attacked while addressing a small crowd in a park on Saturday. Police arrested a 15-year-old suspect at the scene, local media say.

Uribe's wife, Maria Claudia Tarazona, called on the nation to pray for his survival. "Miguel is currently fighting for his life. Let us ask God to guide the hands of the doctors who are treating him," she said.

Uribe's Centro Democratico party condemned the attack, saying it endangered "democracy and freedom in Colombia".

Phone footage shared online appears to show the moment when he was shot in the head mid-speech, prompting those gathered to flee in panic.
