The man was arrested on Tuesday in relation to the incident, which left the two women with minor shotgun pellet injuries on May 2. The group of men were believed to be shooting from a boat in the river. On Friday, police released photos of two of the men which had been taken by the women at the time of the incident. Otago Fish & Game officer Bruce Quirey said the organisation would be following the case closely but was yet to decide if it would take any further action. Hunting from a moored or tethered boat or a drifting boat (excluding the Clutha River between May 1 and 9) was permitted.
