Patrons at a Hastings bar narrowly avoided being shot, when a gun was fired into the entrance way.
Detective Sergeant Kate Hyde said police believed it came from a passing car on Karamu Road South about 1.40am this morning.
Some of the shot from the round went into the garden bar area, she said.
"The bar was busy with patrons at the time and it's by pure chance nobody was seriously injured," Hyde said in a statement.
