A 15-year-old Waialua boy was arrested yesterday for allegedly threatening his 26-year-old brother with a large hunting knife Friday evening.

The older brother told police his younger brother accused him about 7:30 p.m. of taking his money and then threatened to kill him with the knife.

The younger brother fled from the home where the two brothers live before police arrived, but was located yesterday and arrested on suspicion of first-degree terroristic threatening.
