A warrant is out for the arrest of a patched gang member in the Wellington and Wairarapa area.

Police say Peter Tapine assaulted a man in Masterton ten days ago, causing facial injuries.

He's a member of the Nomads gang and police say he's violent and unpredictable, and is known to have guns.

Authorities want to charge him with intent to injure, and threatening to kill.
