Manhunt underway for alleged shooter with ‘Nazi’ face tattoos

An “extremely dangerous” man with Nazi face tattoos has sparked a citywide manhunt after a shooting.

Police are hunting an “extremely dangerous” man after a shooting in broad daylight on a Christchurch street in New Zealand last week.

Shots were fired on the corner of Hereford St and Stanmore Rd in the city at 11.15am on Tuesday, August 30.

A man was taken to Christchurch Hospital in a serious condition with gunshot wounds, the NZ Herald reports.

It sparked a citywide manhunt.

Today, detective senior sergeant Tania Jellyman of Canterbury Police said they have made “significant progress” and are now seeking the public’s assistance.

They are now looking for 27-year-old Hendrix Rawiri Jury who has a warrant for his arrest in relation to the incident.

“He is considered to be extremely dangerous and should not be approached,” Jellyman said.

Police have carried out a number of search warrants and have established that the shooting occurred at a property on Hereford St.

“Inquiries indicate that this was not a random incident,” Jellyman said.

The victim has since been discharged from hospital and is recovering at home.
