Police said the cyclist was headed toward Waikiki on Monsarrat Avenue when he swerved around the right side of a passenger van that had stopped in front of him for a red light at Campbell Avenue.

The motorcyclist kept on going into the intersection and lost control of the cycle when he tried to avoid a car that was turning left off Monsarrat onto Campbell, police said.

They said the motorcycle operator, who was not wearing a helmet, laid the bike down on its side and slid through the intersection before slamming into a fire hydrant.

He was taken to The Queen's Medical Center in critical condition with internal injuries, police said.

Suspect arrested for sexual assault

Police yesterday arrested a 36-year-old man, who has no listed home address, after a female acquaintance told investigators the man sexually assaulted and threatened to kill her.

The victim, 22, told police she had known the suspect for about a month. She said the man beat and raped her at approximately 6 a.m. at a site in the 1600-block of Kapi'olani Boulevard.

Police located the suspect later and arrested him for suspicion of two counts of first-degree sexual assault, kidnapping and first-degree terroristic threatening.

Ex-boyfriend arrested for stealing car

A 19-year-old man who took his former girlfriend's car without permission yesterday is in trouble with her and police as well.

Police said the girlfriend returned to her home on Wai'alae Avenue about 11:15 a.m. to find her car missing. Investigators said the former boyfriend had a duplicate key made for the car without his then-girlfriend knowing and took the car yesterday while the woman, 19, was at school.

The woman called police after she discovered the car was missing and was filling out a car theft report with a police officer when the former boyfriend called her on her cell phone.

Police said that at that point, the former girlfriend told the suspect she was in the process of filling out a police report and planned to press charges against him.

She then handed the phone over to the officer who instructed the suspect to return the car, police said.
