Man shot by police in Invercargill remains in serious condition

A man shot by police on SH1 near Invercargill remains in a serious but stable condition in hospital, as the road reopened this afternoon.

The man was shot by police yesterday after presenting a weapon to officers on State Highway 1 at Dacre.

State Highway 1/Edendale-Woodlands Highway between Kerr Rd and SH98 has now reopened after police conducted a scene examination there following the incident yesterday.

Police said in a statement yesterday that officers were seeking the man "in relation to an earlier call of concern for a female".

After being shot he was taken to hospital in serious condition where he underwent surgery.

Further updates from police are expected later today.
