Two men were arrested in Hillsborough yesterday morning after a chase that began in Ōtāhuhu.

Police said one of the men pointed a gun at officers and members of the public, and was shot.

Charges were being finalised for a second man who was due to appear in Manukau District Court today.

A scene examination at Lilac Grove in Hillsborough was expected to be completed today.

Police want anyone who saw what happened to come forward and an online portal has been set up for any photos or video footage.
