Police will lay nine new charges against a 48-year-old man shot and injured by police at Otane in Central Hawke's Bay last year.
The man, who was transferred from hospital in Hastings to Christchurch for specialist medical care today faces two charges of threatening to kill, two charges of presenting an object like a firearm, two charges of burglary, two charges of unlawfully taking a motor vehicle and driving in a dangerous manner.
Police say the charges result from alleged offending which culminated in an officer being confronted and threatened while stopping a vehicle in which the 48-year-old was a passenger.
Superintendent Sam Hoyle, Eastern District Commander, said that investigations by the IPCA - and also by police - including examining policy and procedure, are continuing.
The charges will be laid in the Christchurch District Court sitting at the Nga Hau e Wha Marae today.
