A man has been charged after another man showed up at a Victorian hospital with gunshot wounds to the buttocks.

The 39-year-old Ballarat man attended hospital on Sunday with puncture wounds to the buttocks and lower back.

On Tuesday, they searched a home on Drummond Street in Ballarat and arrested a 37-year-old Ballarat man.

He was charged with intentionally causing injury and possessing ammunition and is expected to face Ballarat Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
