Police are hunting an "extremely dangerous" man after a shooting in broad daylight on a Christchurch street last week.

Shots were fired on the corner of Hereford St and Stanmore Rd in the city at 11.15am on Tuesday, August 30.

A man was taken to Christchurch Hospital in a serious condition with gunshot wounds.

It sparked a city-wide manhunt.

Detective senior sergeant Tania Jellyman of Canterbury Police said they had made "significant progress" and were now seeking the public's assistance.

"He is considered to be extremely dangerous and should not be approached," Jellyman said.

"If you see Hendrix or know where he is, please call 111 immediately."
