Man accused of pulling gun

A Honolulu man was arrested yesterday after he hunted down his ex-girlfriend at a Waikiki hotel and allegedly threatened her and a hotel security guard with a gun.

The suspect, 24, came to the Royal Garden at Waikiki, 440 Olohana St., at about 2:45 p.m. yesterday and argued with his ex-girlfriend and a hotel security guard. He pulled a loaded 9-mm handgun from his waistband and displayed it to them, police said.

He fled the hotel but then returned while police were investigating and was arrested. Police are pursuing charges of first-degree terroristic threatening and a firearms violation.

Man arrested for stabbing

A man who allegedly assaulted his former girlfriend with a knife while she slept next to their young daughter was arrested last night in 'Ewa Beach.

The assault was reported after 3 a.m. Saturday, when the suspect, 30, allegedly walked into the ex-girlfriend's home in Kuli'ou'ou. The rear door to the Dalene Way home was unlocked. The couple had split in February and the suspect had been ejected from the home, police said.

He held a pillow over her face while she slept next to their 7-year-old daughter and cut the 36-year-old woman's face with a steak knife. The child awoke and screamed, "Daddy, what are you doing?" and the mother was able to take the knife away, police said.

The woman threatened to call police unless he left; when he left, she reportedly called police from a friend's house.

Police are pursuing first-degree burglary and second-degree assault charges against the man.
