Police seek man in Kapahulu assault

A 30-year-old woman was mugged in the front yard of her Kapahulu home Tuesday night by a man who fled with her purse in a stolen black Nissan pickup truck, driven by another man.

The Kapahulu woman was assaulted at 7:20 p.m. at her Catherine Street residence. Neighbors provided police with the truck's license number, JRG 969. The plates are registered to a Nissan pickup that was reported stolen, police said.

The woman struggled briefly with the man over the purse but was struck, possibly with a sharp object, police said. She suffered facial cuts and was taken to Kaiser Permanente Moanalua Medical Center.
