At the time, the attack prompted comparisons with the 2006 poisoning of the Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko.

Mr Gorbuntsov who is still recovering in hospital at a secret location, told the programme:

He added: "The worst feeling is that guy shot me and ran away and probably very much hoped he had killed me. This incident has changed my whole life."

Mr Gorbuntsov was gunned down in the lobby of his exclusive block of flats on Byng Street in the Canary Wharf financial district on London on March 20th.

Residents from the same block described the scene of the crime as a "bloodbath" at the time.

Clips of Mr Gorbuntsov being dropped off in a black cab and footage of the suspected attacker in Manilla Street were shown.

The gunman is white, 6ft and slim, and was wearing a dark hooded top. He is thought to have run away through Bellamy Close, towards the Marsh Wall area.

A gun, hooded top and fake leather bag were found dumped in bushes near the crime scene.Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
