Man arrested for suspicion of robbery

A 22-year-old man was arrested early yesterday morning after he allegedly assaulted and then robbed a man, also 22, near a Waikiki liquor store.

Witnesses told police they saw the victim ask the suspect for a ride as the two men stood outside the store.

The witnesses told police the two men left together in a car driven by the suspect and returned a short time later. They said both men got out of the car and that the driver then began to assault the passenger. The suspect then reached into the passenger's pants pocket and removed a cellular phone, witnesses said.

The suspect and the victim left in the same car a second time and the suspect returned to the liquor store a short time later, minus the victim, according to witnesses.

The suspect was detained by responding police officers and was identified by witnesses who said they saw what had happened to the other man.

As of this morning, however, police had been unable to find the victim.
