Police are searching for a man who allegedly shot at two women as they emerged from a unit in Brisbane’s eastern suburbs early on Tuesday morning.

The two women, aged 41 and 32, were leaving the unit on Adelaide Street in Carina just after 6am when they were approached by a man from a silver BMW parked nearby.

Police said the man then fired a single shot at the women. It missed, and neither of them were physically injured.

The man then allegedly returned to his car and fled the area along Adelaide Street towards Stanley Road.

Investigators said they were still working to determine whether there was a link between the shooter and the two women.

Police urged anyone with information that could identify the man or the silver BMW, which was in the area between 4am and 6.30am, to contact police.
