A man suffered non-life-threatening injuries and remains in hospital, police say.
On Wednesday police announced they had laid charges by way of warrant of arrest, as the suspect is currently in custody in another jurisdiction on unrelated charges.

Levy-Porter was charged with robbery with a firearm, possession of property obtained by crime and possession of a loaded prohibited firearm, among other offences.
London police will not say which jurisdiction Levy-Porter was arrested in but did say he remains in custody.
