A man is under arrest after two air-gun incidents in Hamilton.

Police say a man was hit in the buttocks by a pellet outside a Pizza Hutt restaurant on Grey Street on Wednesday night. He did not need any medical attention.

An air rifle with a scope and stand was found at a house on Grey Street and a man was arrested.

He has been charged in relation to a similar incident on Christmas Eve in the suburb of Claudelands when a man required hospital treatment.
