      Police have made a second arrest after an alleged firearms incident outside an Auckland hospital.

      An investigation into the incident at Middlemore Hospital has been ongoing since January 4, when a gun was allegedly fired from a vehicle in the hospital’s carpark. No one was injured in the incident.

      Detective Inspector Shaun Vickers said the Counties Manukau Offender Prevention Team executed a search warrant in South Auckland late last week, leading to the arrest of a second man.

      “At a Manurewa address, a 23-year-old man was located by our staff and arrested,” Vickers said.

      “The investigation team have laid a number of serious charges against this man.”

      The man faces charges of committing a dangerous act with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and commission of an offence with a firearm. He appeared in the Manukau District Court over the weekend and was due to reappear today.

      It comes after police arrested a 34-year-old man over a week ago in relation to the alleged incident. He appeared in the Manukau District Court on January 20, also charged with committing a dangerous act with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and commission of an offence with a firearm.

      Vickers said police are not ruling out further arrests or charges being made.

      “Those allegedly involved showed no regard for the safety of those around them, given this occurred at a hospital.

      “We have no tolerance and will continue to hold those to account who take part in this behaviour,” Vickers said.
