The Hamilton man who was attacked with a machete in the driveway of his Enderley home has appeared in court charged with aggravated burglary.
Jordan Mutton appeared briefly in the Hamilton District Court this afternoon.
The charge follows an incident at a Whakatane house in July.
The 24-year-old made headlines last month when he was attacked by five people, his arm was still in a cast today.
He's been remanded on bail without plea to reappear in the Whakatane District Court early next year.
