A 58-year-old man has been arrested this morning following an incident at Tairua Wharf on 23 January.
He has been charged with assault and operating a vessel dangerously, and is due to appear in Hamilton District Court tomorrow.
Further charges in relation to this incident are likely.
The Tairua boatie was filmed last month ramming another boat with his dinghy.
After being identified by the Herald he admitted the incident, saying he was angry because the other boat had raced past his boat at high speed.
