Baseball bat attack leads to arrest

A 35-year-old Honolulu man was arrested yesterday after he allegedly hit a 45-year-old man in the forearm with a wooden baseball bat.

Police said the older man told them he was standing next to his car about 2 p.m. when the younger man approached him, began to poke him in the chest several times and got into a heated argument with him.

The older man said he took up a fighting stance at which point the younger man went to his truck, came back with a wooden bat and stuck him in the left forearm as he tried to block a blow.

Police and a city ambulance arrived at the scene and the suspected assailant was arrested for suspicion of second-degree assault. He was later released without charges pending further investigation.
