Advertiser Staff
Kaua'i police are seeking witnesses to a weekend assault that left a Hanalei man in serious condition with a head injury.
Police arrested a 21-year-old and 17-year-old Saturday in connection with the incident.
They said the man was walking on Aku Road in Hanalei at 7:40 p.m. Saturday when he was approached by two men in a white Nissan pickup truck. Police said the pair jumped out of the truck and chased the man to Kauhale Center, where he was struck from behind and fell to the pavement, hitting his head.
Witnesses gave police descriptions of the two men, and police arrested the 17-year-old at 10:30 p.m., and the older man an hour later. The victim initially was taken to Wilcox Hospital, then flown by helicopter to The Queen's Medical Center, where he was listed in serious condition, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Kaua'i police at 241-1680.
Police today were looking for two men in their 30s who robbed a 28-year-old man at his Kaimuki apartment Tuesday night.
The man told police he was at home with the front door ajar when two men came in about 11:30 p.m., pulled out handguns and demanded to know where he kept his valuables.
One of the intruders showed a badge, police said.
The two men took items from the apartment as the victim dialed 911 on his cellular telephone, police said.
The two men fled before police arrived.
An 8-year-old boy was arrested Tuesday after allegedly throwing a chair at his teacher.
Police say the boy became angry during class Monday and threw the chair at his teacher, 52, at Lehua Elementary School in Pearl City, painfully hitting her in the leg but causing no injury that required medical attention.
The teacher reported the incident to police Tuesday, and the 8-year-old was arrested on suspicion of second-degree assault.
A 54-year-old woman was arrested in Kapi'olani Park Tuesday night on suspicion of second-degree assault and first-degree terroristic threatening.
Two men, 31 and 32, told police they were sitting on a park bench near the bandstand, talking and laughing, when they apparently woke the woman, who came at them with a knife in each hand.
The men said they were walking away when the woman threw a bottle, hitting one of them on the leg.
