While the victim was on the floor with a severe leg injury, it was said that he was then further assaulted and struck with a weapon.
A 17-year-old boy has been charged with causing serious injury by dangerous driving, as well as grievous bodily harm with intent.
A 21-year-old man has been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and possession of a weapon designed or adapted for the discharge of an electric shock.
Following the incident, the victim was taken to hospital by ambulance for treatment to a broken ankle.
