A 23-year old man appeared in Hamilton District Court on Monday charged with wounding with reckless disregard and was been bailed until the end of January.
The officer in charge of the investigation, Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Greene, says police are not looking for anyone else over the attack.

Family stressed over incident
Mr Cochran's family say they're stressed and upset he'll spend the Christmas holidays in an induced coma.
And Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Greene said his thoughts were with Mr Cochrane and his family.
"Life has changed in an instant for Trevor, in a brief instant, so for him and his family life will never be the same, whatever happens."
Mr Cochrane's son-in-law Matthew Bloxham told a news conference in Hamilton on Tuesday his family are hoping he will come out of the coma soon.
"Everyone's pretty stressed out, got a lot going on ... and both the daughters are expecting children in February as well so we're just hoping he comes to, so he can see his grandchildren."
