A Police Scotland spokesman said inquiries are ongoing into the circumstances surrounding Tuesday’s incident, and urged anyone with information to contact the force on 101 quoting reference 1268 of Tuesday March 20, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
The 27-year-old victim is still understood to be in a serious condition at Kirkcaldy’s Victoria Hospital.
There was a huge police presence following the incident, with an armed response unit and police with dogs seen in the area where the victim lives.
More police could be seen at the Buck and Hind pub in the Muiredge area, where the car park was cordoned off.
One local woman said she had never seen anything like the police presence in the area.
“It was crazy scenes. One minute it was all quiet and the next time I looked there were about 10 police cars and vans and no one could get into the street,” she said.
