Police would like to speak to a group of men involved in a duck shooting incident earlier today.

At around 11am two women walking along a track by the Clutha River in Alexandra sustained minor shotgun pellet injuries. One was injured in the lower leg and the other in the shoulder.

The shots were fired by a group of men duck shooting from a boat in the river.

The men responsible spoke to the injured women and offered assistance, however they left the scene in their boat and have not yet been identified.

Police were notified of the matter after the women arrived at the Alexandra Medical Centre, where their injuries were treated.

Officers investigating the incident would like to speak to the men, and we ask them to get in touch as soon as possible by calling 105 quoting P046364839.

Anyone else who may have seen the incident is also asked to get in contact with police.
