Three men have been arrested after a man was shot in the arm with BB gun at a Palmerston North petrol station.
Emergency services were called to the Gull service station in Roslyn about 9.30pm and the man with moderate injuries was taken to Palmerston North Hospital's emergency department.
Police say a 19-year-old, a 24-year-old and a 28-year-old are due to appear in the Palmerston North District Court today on wounding and firearms charges.
A police spokesman said two men were involved in a verbal argument outside Gull on Tremaine Ave.
One of the men left, and then returned in a vehicle, and fired a BB gun towards the other man.
