A man has been arrested in Auckland after a gun was fired outside Middlemore Hospital earlier this month.
Police responded to reports of an altercation in the hospital's carpark just before 6.30pm on 4 January, when a gun was reportedly fired from a vehicle.
Detective Inspector Shaun Vickers said it was fortunate that no one was injured.
Officers from Counties Manukau CIB searched a property at the weekend and arrested a 34-year-old they believe was involved.
He has been charged with committing a dangerous act with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and commission of an offence with a firearm.
He is expected to appear in Manukau District Court on Monday.
Police said they were not ruling out further arrests.
"Those allegedly involved showed no regard for the safety of those around them, given this occurred at a hospital," Vicker said.
"We have no tolerance and will continue to hold those to account who take part in this behaviour."
