Kailua woman held in slashing incident

Police arrested a 43-year-old Kailua woman last night after she chased her husband through their home with a kitchen knife, slashing him several times.

The couple had been arguing about 7 p.m. in their Kalaheo Avenue home when the woman began chasing her 54-year-old husband, police said. She cut her husband several times on the arm and back as he fled.

The victim left the home and called police from a pay phone.

The suspect was arrested for investigation of second-degree assault. Charges are pending.
