Machete incident leads to charges

An 18-year-old man was charged Tuesday with threatening another man with a machete during a July 3 traffic dispute at Dillingham Boulevard and North King Street.

Henry Dela Cruz, who has no permanent address, was charged with first-degree terroristic threatening. He was being held in lieu of $20,000 bail.

Dela Cruz was arrested Monday after the victim of the alleged attack saw him in the parking lot of Honolulu Community College and called police. He and another man, who was still at large, allegedly threatened the victim with a machete and hatchet.
