A man is facing court after another was shot in the leg near a small Bay of Plenty town on Friday.
Police say a man turned up at a house on State Highway 30 west of Te Teko at about 2:30pm, asking for help treating a gunshot wound to his leg.
He was airlifted to Rotorua Hospital, while the armed offenders squad looked for the shooter.
"A 25-year-old man has been charged with wounds with intent to cause grievous bodily harm," a police spokesperson told Newshub.
He was due to appear in the Whakatane District Court on Saturday.
Police are still investigating, and would like to hear from anyone with information - call 105 and quote file number 210219/2812.
