He's been charged with receiving the stolen vehicle and a number of driving charges, and will appear in the Youth Court later this week.
The elderly victim had picked up two hitchhikers who threw him out of his red Suzuki Swift and drove off in it.
Detective Senior Sergeant Rhys Johnston from the Far North Police says the arrest was made after police chased the stolen Suzuki at Mangamuka.
Police had already arrested a 17 year old in relation to the robbery and are still looking for a second person.
The victim has been discharged from hospital and is recovering at home... but his car has sustained considerable damage.
