The terrifying "assassination attempt" took place in Handlova, a town located 93 miles northeast of the country's capital Bratislava. The Slovakian Government confirmed that he is in "life-threatening condition" after being transported by helicopter, from a local hospital to one in the capital.
In a public update, the Slovakian Minister of Interior Robert Kalinak said: "Slovakia has never been confronted with a situation like this".
He thanked emergency services, nurses and specialists at the hospital, "still fighting" for the PM's life.
"He's still in surgery, he suffered serious trauma after several shots. His health is pretty serious, the situation is bad," he added.
He added: "We hope he is strong enough to deal with this trauma."
Fico, a staunch ally of Russia's President Vladimir Putin, is still under surgery after sustaining injuries to his head and chest, according to an eyewitness at the scene, who told MNT.SK that she heard "three of four shots".
Reports confirmed the surgeons had to remove four bullets from his body.
He fell to the ground as emergency services swarmed the scene.
A suspect has been detained, according to local news station TA3, with a dramatic video showing the moment they were arrested.
A loud commotion can be heard, as police officers can be seen swarming the alleged attacker while sirens can be heard blaring in the distance.
The country’s president later confirmed a suspect is in custody in a televised statement. Fico was taken by helicopter to a hospital.
The motive for the shooting was unclear. Express.co.uk has contacted the Slovakian Police for comment.
