Police said the man is angry with the victim, 48, because she became romantically involved with his former girlfriend.

The women had moved to Kona but returned to O'ahu to attend a funeral. The victim was leaving a relative's house at Puhinalo Place when the man blocked her exit. He stabbed the woman as she grabbed the blade of his knife; in the struggle, the suspect bit off her ear.

The man had the victim pinned and was hitting her head against the ground when a witness helped her escape, police said.

Complaint filed in girls' drug fight

The parents of a Roosevelt High School girl arrested for drug possession are pressing robbery charges against another student in what amounts to a fight over a bag of marijuana.

The fight broke out Nov. 30 when the girl, 15, found the marijuana packet hidden near a campus pay phone and took it, police said. The second student, 17, confronted her and repeatedly slapped her and demanded the return of the drugs, which the younger girl denied having, police said.
