A gun was fired more than once during the incident after a fight outside Dr Rudi's Rooftop bar in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The weapon used was more of a pistol rather than a rifle and the majority of shots were fired in the air, with one round smashing the glass ceiling of the foyer area.

The man faces a number of firearms-related charges and is due to appear in the Auckland District Court tomorrow.
