Police have charged a 33 year old Gosnells man over a serious bashing in the eastern suburb of Stratton on Sunday.
Police will allege the man hit his victim on the head after an argument at a house and when he fell to the ground punched and kicked him before jumping on his head twice.
When the victim's 35 year old sister tried to step in she was also allegedly assaulted.
The man was taken to Swan District hospital with face and rib fractures.
The 33 year old will appear in the Midland Magistrates Court tomorrow.

Woman injured in bag snatch attack
as posted on TheWest
A 67-year-old Thornlie woman was left badly injured when she was dragged on the ground alongside a car by thieves who tried to steal her purse.
Kay Davey, who suffered a broken collarbone and cuts all over her body, said she had been walking from Thornlie Square Shopping Centre to the local library when a white Holden Commodore carrying two women pulled up next to her about 3pm on Friday.
The driver asked Mrs Davey for directions to Cannington Train Station and the 67-year-old moved towards the car to reply.
The passenger then grabbed hold of her bag, which was wrapped around her right arm, and the driver accelerated away.
Mrs Davey was thrown to the ground and dragged for about 5m, with her hand still gripped around the bag strap.
The women drove off east along Connemara Drive, leaving her with a deep cut to the right leg, which required stitches, and abrasions on her feet, arms, legs and knees. She was treated for her injuries at Royal Perth Hospital.
The offenders are described as being two women of dark skinned appearance.
Their car was a white Holden Commodore sedan – perhaps an early to mid 90s model – with a spoiler.
Anyone with further information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Gypsy Jokers lose High Court challenge
as posted on ABCnews
The Gypsy Jokers Motorcycle Club has lost its High Court challenge to a West Australian law intended to prevent fortification of premises.
In 2004, police ordered the club to dismantle its Maddington clubhouse fortifications, which include a concrete front wall, surveillance cameras and modified doors.
The club said the security was needed in the area where the burglary rate is high.
The Gypsy Jokers argued that the WA Corruption and Crime Commission Act breached the Constitution by preventing the club from gaining access to the evidence police relied on to make the order.
The WA Corruption and Crime Commission Act was passed in 2003 after the car bomb murders of former detective Don Hancock and his companion.
However, the High Court has today upheld the state law.
The State's Attorney-General, Jim McGinty, says he pleased with the High Court's rejection of the Gypsy Jokers' legal challenge.
Mr McGinty expects police will make full use of the legal resources available to them.
"The decision to legislate to give the power to dismantle fortification around bikie head quarters which they hid behind in order to escape the full effect of the law, has now been upheld as being valid" he said.
"There's now no reason why that law cannot be invoked against outlaw motorcycle gangs."
Police say despite the High Court decision they can not tear down the fortifications just yet.
Deputy Commissioner Murray Lampard says the club's application for a review of the fortification removal notice will go back before the Supreme Court and police must wait for the outcome of that hearing before they can take any action.
