Two men have been charged following an incident at a house on Ōtaki Pl in Palmerston North on April 12.
Police were called to the house around 2am following reports of a man behaving aggressively towards a woman at the property.
When police arrived at the house, a man who was being obstructive was taken into custody.
Officers began communicating with a second man who remained inside the house.
He came to the door and pointed what appeared to be a pistol at the officers. Officers immediately retreated to a safe place and called for support.
