Driver allegedly tries to run over jogger

A 26-year-old Kapahulu man was arrested over the weekend in connection with an incident last month in which a jogger reported being nearly run over twice in the Kahala area.

The jogger told police he believe the incident apparently stemmed from an earlier traffic altercation with the same driver.

The suspect, who was accompanied by his attorney, turned himself in at police headquarters and was arrested for suspicion of attempted second-degree assault and first-degree terroristic threatening.
