Police were called to reports of a car fire and assault in Parkside Ave, Caversham, about 1.40pm Sunday.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said a vehicle had been doing burnouts and the left rear driver-side wheel caught fire.
"That engulfed the car in flames."
It was believed occupants of a nearby address had come out of their home and an altercation had occurred.
One 41-year-old man — who was a suspected resident in the area — was arrested and appeared in court yesterday morning, charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
A 51-year-old man was taken to hospital on Sunday with moderate injuries.
He was reported to be in a stable condition yesterday.
Both men involved in the incident were believed to be known associates.
