Police were called to a Nambucca Heads street in the early hours of November 6 to find a 21-year-old man outside a unit block with a single gunshot wound to his abdomen.

He was taken to Coffs Harbour Hospital in a stable condition and has since been released.

Following inquiries a 22-year-old man was arrested on Friday in West Kempsey on NSW's mid-north coast.
