A man accused of intentionally driving into someone at a boat ramp during a dispute over whitebaiting faces new charges.
Robert Jonathan Wilson, 39, was last week charged with causing grievous bodily harm to Troy Hughes with intent to do so.
There were also two additional counts of assault with a weapon.
Wilson is accused of ramming his vehicle into the man's legs and there was concern he may need to have one amputated.
A spokeswoman for Counties Manukau District Health Board today confirmed Mr Hughes was still in hospital in a stable state.
She would not say whether an amputation had taken place.
Wilson appeared at Pukekohe District Court this morning to make a bail application, but police laid two further charges of unlawfully possessing a semi-automatic shotgun and cultivating cannabis.
His lawyer Paul Borich did not advance a bail application and his client was remanded in custody until December.
The bulk of the charges stem from an incident at the Elbow Rd boat ramp in Aka Aka, near Waiuku, about 5pm on October 20.
The area is one of the best spots for the lucrative whitebaiting fishery in Waikato.
A Waiuku fisherman said his niece was among a small group of people who found Mr Hughes in agony and bleeding profusely after the accident.
He understood the driver of a vehicle left his car and fled the ramp in a boat before police caught him.
Another fisherman and friend of Mr Hughes described his mate as "an extremely experienced boatie".
Mr Hughes had substantial leg trauma and was rushed to Middlemore Hospital in a critical condition.
Health board staff would not confirm how much longer he would likely remain in hospital.
