Tribal Huk leader Jamie Pink has said he lost an eye when he was shot at in his car earlier this week.

Police said a 45-year-old man had been arrested and charged with the unlawful possession of firearms, in relation to recent activities in Ngaruawahia.

They said this followed a forensic examination of his vehicle, adding that they had not received a complaint about his vehicle being shot at.

They declined to name the arrested man, who was due to appear in the Hamilton District Court on Wednesday.
