Liquor store owner Virender Singh will not stand trial.
Justice of the Peace M. Sinclair said after hearing conflicting and contradictory evidence in the Manukau District Court, there was no case for Mr Singh to answer.
Mr Singh faced two charges of injuring with intent to injure over the incident at his Otara store last September. He denied the charges on the grounds he acted in self-defence.
