Porirua police arrested a 22-year-old man early this morning after sparking an armed offenders squad callout in a rural area near Pauatahanui, north of Wellington.
No one was hurt in the incident and he will appear at Porirua District Court today.
Last night police said the man was understood to have entered the bush with a firearm after a confrontation with his father, who called the police around 5pm.
“He’s a little bit distressed, which is why we are concerned,” Kapiti-Mana police area commander Inspector John Spence said.
