Butler man charged over Hillarys incident that has left Kairan Mahia in critical condition - ABC News

Police have charged a man over an incident in Hillarys in the early hours of Sunday morning that has left a Perth father-of-two fighting for his life. 

Kairan Mahia, 29, remains in Royal Perth Hospital in a critical but stable condition after he suffered serious head injuries during an alleged physical altercation in the carpark at Sorrento Quay around 4.30am on Sunday. 

Police have charged a 20-year-old man from Butler with grievous bodily harm and stealing and he is due to appear before the Perth Magistrates Court today. 

Friend and colleague James Clarke described Mr Mahia, who played international rugby for the Cook Islands, as a "quietly spoken and gentle guy" and a loving father two his two daughters, aged five and 10. 

"He is a family man, everything he does revolves around them," Mr Clarke said. 

"His wife is absolutely devastated and she is spending as much time with him as she can and his dad has also been by his side the whole time."

Mr Clarke said Mr Mahia had been watching his cousin play soccer earlier in the day and was out with his brother when the incident happened. 

"He doesn't normally go out, it is very uncommon," Mr Clarke said. 

"We are just in shock and disbelief, we couldn't believe this happened."

Mr Mahia lives in the Wanneroo area and works as a fitness instructor, as well as for a men's rehabilitation clinic. 

Mr Clarke set up a GoFundMe on Sunday night, which has already raised more than $36,000 to help the family with medical and other expenses. 

"The community has really got behind him, which is testament to the type of person he is," Mr Clarke said.
