A second man has been arrested after a gun was allegedly fired outside Middlemore Hospital in Auckland earlier this month.
Officers 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.
Police arrested a 23 year old man on Friday after searching a Manurewa house.
"The investigation team have laid a number of serious charges against this man," said Detective Inspector Shaun Vickers.
They previously arrested 34 year-old man in relation to the shooting.
The 23-year-old has been charged with committing a dangerous act with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and commission of an offence with a firearm.
He appeared in Manukau District Court at the weekend, and was expected to reappear on Tuesday.
Vickers said police were not ruling out further arrests or charges.
