A man has been arrested in connection to airgun shooting incidents in Hamilton - the latest involving a man being shot in the buttocks.
The 18-year-old was arrested and charged after police were called to Pizza Hut on Grey St last night when a man reported he was hit by a pellet to the buttocks as he was standing outside the eatery talking to a friend.
He did not need any medical treatment, but said he was "dazed and surprised" by what had happened, police said.
The man identified a house on the street, in the Claudelands area, where he thought the shot had come from and police found the teen inside.
Officers also discovered an air rifle with a scope and a stand, and pellets.
