He was caught on a nearby street, identified by the victim and charged at 4:46 a.m., police said.

Police seek man in store robbery

Police are seeking a male robbery suspect who allegedly used a knife yesterday to threaten a video-store clerk, who then scared him off by telling him he was being videotaped.

Police said the suspect entered Waikiki Video Sales & Rentals, 2139 Kuhio Ave., at 4:30 p.m. He then allegedly brandished the knife and demanded money but fled without any cash when the cashier told him he was on tape and was being watched by another employee in the back.

Broken utility pole insulator repaired

About 1,700 customers in Nu'uanu were in the dark for almost two hours last night because an insulator on a utility pole broke and a power line came loose.

The detached line fell onto another line, so the break was difficult to spot, said Fred Kobashikawa, Hawaiian Electric Co. spokesman.

The break occurred at 7:38 p.m.; it was found on a Wyllie Street pole and repaired an hour and 49 minutes later, he said.
