He was charged with four counts of injures with intent to injure.
“We would like to thank members of the community who are supporting the family and who have come forward with information already,” Wescott said.
Police said they would like to speak to anyone else who may have information in relation to the incident or anyone who witnessed any unusual behaviour.
