A 21-year-old man has been arrested and charged after a child was struck in the face by gel gun pellets in Rotorua last year.
A woman reported that her 11-year-old son had been injured after being hit by pellets fired by a man in a passing car on Pererika St on November 1.
The woman and her son had been taking part in a rubbish pick-up organised by the Scouts.
”Fortunately the injuries suffered by the young boy were not serious, but it was a distressing incident for him and his mum, and for the other children who were nearby at the time,” Detective Sergeant Richard Lang said in a statement today.
