A video circulating on social media shows the moment two motorcyclists are knocked off their motorbikes as a car with people leaning out its windows goes past.
Initially it was unclear when the footage was filmed.
But police this morning were looking into it as part of their inquiries into a shooting on State Highway 30 near Te Teko, 25km southwest of Whakatake yesterday.
They then confirmed on Saturday night that the video related to an unrelated incident in Hastings late last year.
