In the other incident, Fermin Jose Carino Sr. of Halawa was arrested initially on suspicion of attempted murder but was charged with the lesser offense of second-degree assault in connection with an incident Tuesday in which his son's shoulder was slashed.

Police said Carino was upset because his son was "blasting music" about 11 p.m. and drinking with friends. They said the father grabbed a knife, told the son's friends to leave and then began to struggle with his son during which the son was slashed on the shoulder.

Police arrived at the apartment on Kohomua Street and arrested Carino while his son was taken to The Queen's Medical Center, where he was listed in fair condition upon his arrival. Carino's bail was set at $15,000.
