Further charges have been laid against a man shot by police in the Auckland suburb of Hillsborough nearly two weeks ago.
The 27-year-old remains under police guard at Auckland City Hospital after he was left in a serious condition following a police chase across the city on September 30.
A suspicious vehicle fled from police in Ōtāhuhu at about 9am that day and was followed through Auckland before coming to a stop on Hillsborough's Lilac Grove.
The man, who was allegedly carrying a firearm, was shot by police and taken to hospital. Another person in the vehicle was also taken in to custody.
Detective Inspector Chris Barry said the man has been charged with a range of serious firearms and drugs offences.

A bedside court hearing is expected to take place today.
