A teenager was arrested after an incident involving gunshots in Whakatāne last night.

Police were called to an address on Matirerau St after gunshots were reported just before 10pm, a spokeswoman said.

They found a broken window and one person with non-life-threatening injuries.

Hato Hone St John took one person to Whakatāne Hospital by ambulance in a minor condition.
