The man who allegedly fired a pistol at a police officer will appear in Auckland District Court today charged with attempted murder.
Murray Toleafoa was caught by armed police shortly after midday yesterday at a central Auckland supermarket.
The 30-year-old was being hunted after he allegedly shot at a police officer on Friday in the CBD.
Police say Toleafoa was in a car driven by Nadia Ball when the pair were stopped by police early on Friday morning.
As a constable spoke to the pair at the driver's window, Toleafoa allegedly leaned around Ball and fired at least one shot in the police officer's direction.
