Benjamin A. Hand, 43, faced Nowra Local Court charged with seven offences including causing wounding grievous bodily harm with intent to murder and discharging a firearm with intent to cause grievous bodily harm .

It is alleged Hand, and a co-accused Nickolas Hardes, 34, went to the Goolagong Street address around 10.45pm on June 11, forced their way into the home and allegedly attacked the male home owner.

Court papers said Hand, who is currently being held at the Metropolitan Remand and Reception Centre (MRRC) at Silverwater, was allegedly armed with a home-made gun and a knife at the time.

Police allege Hand fired the home-made weapon with intent to wound the 37-year-old man, who suffered multiple stab wounds during the incident. He was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics and then airlifted by helicopter to St George Hospital in Sydney where he underwent surgery.

Hand also faces charges of special aggravated enter a dwelling with intent to wound, wounding a person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, using and possessing an unauthorised and prohibited firearm and not keeping a firearm safe.

He did not apply for bail before Magistrate Susan McGowan in Nowra Local Court, which was officially refused.

He will reappear on November 21.

Hardes also faces multiple charges including causing grievous bodily harm with intent to murder, discharging a firearm with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, aggravated entering a dwelling with intent to wound, wounding a person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and carrying a cutting weapon.

Police arrested Hardes two days after the alleged incident but a court-imposed non-publication order prevented any reporting on his court appearances until August as officers conducted further investigations.

He is due to reappear in October.
